Apple Watch series 3 stops charging after few seconds

All of the sudden my Apple Watch 3 stops charging after a few seconds. I’ve switch charging blocks and outlets and does the same for each one. How convenient that’s it’s right after the 1 year warranty expired.

I suggest performing a forced restart. Steps needed are found in the Apple Support article: Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support

i.e. press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.

If you've completed that troubleshooting and the issue is still not resolved, Contact Support.


You also need to try another charging puck if you have not already. If you don't have one go here

Whether 12 months applies depends on your country laws. In my country you have up to 6 years to claim. In USA I believe the 12 months is it, and you bought it on that pretext.
