Charging Apple Watch

Hello together,

I am using Apple Watch SE 44mm. My wife has the 40mm. Since day one I am facing an issue with charging both of the watches from my laptop 'Dell Precision 5560'. Once I plug the cable I can hear the plugIn sound, but then if I put any of the watches on the magnetic charger, PC does the unplug sound then again plugin sound - this happens 2-3 times and then it stops and acts like unpluged cable and it is not charging the watch..

I've tried different cable - same behavior. On the other laptops there is no such problem.. Where should I look for a problem. Could this be not enough power to charge the watch and Windows is preventing it from something?

Thanks in advance for the help :)

likely the laptop have the usb ports share the same current so is limited in terms of how many watt it can provide

if it was me then I would connect one or all of them to usb ac chargers you can use pretty much any usb charger from ios device as long as they have an usb-a or usb-c port

iPhone Chargers - Apple

I personally just use some 5watt ac charger I got with an ipod touch 1g back in 2007
