Apple Watch 7 slow charging with Belkin BoostCharge PRO after 8.5

I am also having this issue, I just returned my first BoostCharge Pro thinking it was defective. Just received the new one today and having the same issue again!! Definitely has to do with the new WatchOS.

8.5 broke my fast charge. It broke my new watch it wouldn't chare with the apple charger either. Just got the new 7 replacement running 8.5 and it charged for 2 days now will not work on my fast charger and will only charge to 15% or 45% Apple needs to fix this. What good is a new watch if I can't charge it to use it? How long before an update?

Sure it's not a huge bug when you look at iOS in general, but it's a huge bug for everyone with a Belkin Charger.

Also there are some cases that includes the original Apple Charger.

I know, that bugs are never avoidable, but the Belkin Charger is licensed for Apple und for sale in the Apple Stores.

I would not call those steps "trouble shooting" but workarounds and they only mitigate the "issue" they don't resolve it.

The "Re-Seat" method is the easiest and works consistently, the other two don't work all the time in my experience.

i will be trying the reseat option, as its the only option that will work for me on my apple watch charger, dont have belkin but the original

Are you sure it isn't a problem with your cord or the power adapter you are using? Which power adapter are you using and are you using the USB-C charger cord?

If you aren't using the Belkin why are you threadjacking this?

Same issue but with an AW series 6. And software 8.5. It doesn’t detect charging AT ALL.

Tried another AW series 6 that’s not on the latest software and it charged no problem.

incredibly frustrating.

I can also confirm the same issues. It was totally fine and fast charging before the update but now it is incredibly slow on the Belkin boost charge pro 3-in-1 charger. Works fine on the apple charger but yeah only started having issues after the update. WatchOS 8.5.1 also doesn't seem to have corrected the issue yet. Will leave it on the charger for 30 minutes and it only went up 2%.

Parce qu'Apple n'est pas propriétaire de Belkin et ne peut pas apporter de modifications à ses appareils. Étant donné que Belkin a répondu avec cette solution de contournement (qui ne fonctionne pas pour tout le monde), je suppose que c'est un problème avec les chipsets qu'ils utilisent. Je suis sûr qu'Apple travaille avec Belkin dans les coulisses pour le résoudre.

I tried hard resting and infact also resetting the belkin boost charge device as well as per the instructions and also unpair and repair the watch the fast charge started working on original apple cable but not with belkin boost charge and sometimes it is not even charging . it shows the sign but it remains stand still .

Apple is still selling them for $149–how do I know? I bought one 4 months ago! It’s now USELESS for my AWS 7. I’ve contacted Apple and Belkin. I was told “they know about the issue and are working on it.”

How long should I wait before asking for a refund? How long does it take to fix a software issue that “broke” a charger???

I could not agree more. I’ve been contacting both support teams (Apple and Belkin) since the 8.5.1 update broke my charger. Mine worked until the update aka break. I feel that we all should flood them with this issue, and keep calling until they have to fix it.

I just got off with Apple Support. They REFUSE to acknowledge there's an issue with the OS update to 8.5.1 breaking the ability to charge the AWS 7 on the Belkin 3-in-1 mag safe boost charger. Even in the advisor's report -- he misrepresented the issue writing "Hi, 

Thanks for choosing Apple Support for your repair. Be sure to read the important information at the end of this email.Apple WatchProblem Description: Power Will not charge

That's not the problem! I kept telling the guy over and over -- the watch does charge -- with the chord it came with. NOT with the $149 Belkin charger I bought from Apple!!! And now I have to visit a Geek at the local Best Buy to show them that this already documented problem is a problem? This is so freaking stupid. I am ready to lose my mind. What is it going to take for Apple to acknowledge they broke this charger and fix it?

Thanks for allowing me to vent here. I am trying so hard to get this fixed.

But have you contacted Belkin and talked with them?

Yes, it really is. After the last update 8.5.1 charging on the Belkin Boost Charger does not work at all.

Re-seating doesn’t work!

helps only charging with original apple charger…

hope next update will solve this issue.
