Apple Watch Series 7 slow charging

Hi, i have AW series 7 and am facing slow charging. It takes 3.5-4.00 hours to full charge from 0-100%. That means around 2 min or more to charge 1% which is contrary to Apple’s claim that series 7 has fast charging capacity. I use original type c magnetic charger and 20w apple adaptor.


where could possibly be the issue and how to fix it?

Hi,

tried both ways you suggested. Slow charging issue persists. I read somewhere that after watch OS 8.5 update, many users are experiencing slow charging in series 7. Is that? Please guide

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
