Apple watch keeps turning on while charging and wont charge

Is this normal? My apple watch keeps turning on while its charging and asks me to enter my passcode. It stops charging when it turns on and doesn’t start again unless I take it off and put it back onto its charger. Is it the charger thats the problem? Do I need to turn on/off a setting?

On your Apple Watch - Try and Force ReStart your Apple Watch as indicated below:

  • Hold down the side button and Digital Crown at the same time. The Digital Crown is the rotating button located on the side of the device.
  • Keep holding these two buttons down until you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.


If the above procedure does not resolve the charging issue, then try another charger / charging cable.
