Watch os 8.5 my series 7 charges slow
I've updated to watch os 8.5, and still my series 7 takes over 5 hours to charge. It was not doing this before. I’ve restarted my watch various times to no avail.

Hello SeDaMaN,
Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are having an issue with charging your Apple Watch.

If your Apple Watch won't charge or it won't turn on
Cheers!
Yeah, sorry but this does NOT help.
Yea he issue is with os 8.5 not allowing the use of 3rd party chargers that are AUTHORIZED by apple.
I paid 150.00 for the belkin up 3-1 mag safe at the apple store because it was promoted BY APPLE.
now it doesn’t work. So, someone in tech department needs to follow up and look into this. Why would Apple promote and sell a product that bricks after an update?
Hey SeDaMaN!
Does your Apple Watch charge correctly while connected to the original charging puck?
If your Apple Watch charges fine with the original charger, you'll need to reach out to Belkin for assistance:CONTACT SUPPORT
Have a great day!
I’m having the same issue and my problem is occurring with the Apple Watch charging puck and not a third party puck. Didn’t happen before I upgraded to watch os 8.5. Hopefully Apple puts out a fix soon.
Same here using 8.5 and the original fast charger from the box, though it has been OK since a reboot. I also am still seeing poor battery life that seems to drop gradually each day until a reboot. 45% by morning turns slowly into 20-25% with no change in how I use the watch.
I bought the Belkin charge off apples website and it no longer fast charges the watch. I hope they fix is as it should be supported since I bought it right from them!
There is a longer thread on this. Apple will have to work with Belkin to resolve this, in the meantime turn off optimized charging on your Watch and your speed will return.
Yeah, even when optimized charging is off, still charges slower than a slug
My series 7 is taking forever to charge too after updating to 8.5 and that’s using Apple’s charging puck.
No. My Apple Watch is charging incredibly slow with the original Apple Watch charging puck. The same one that came with the series 7 watch.
Same issue its horrible, basically unusable from 1 hr charge, takes 5 hours now and restart does not help!
So I’m getting super slow charging and poor battery life ever since updating to 8.5. Hopefully an update is coming this week.
Same. It’s frustrating
