Apple watch series 10 not charging

Hi I recently purchased the series 10 watch and everything good until the last few days where it refuses to charge. I have tried the old cable that I had with the series 6 (which still works - I have tested it), tried the new cable that came with the watch, tried soft and hard re boot. When i do this it works for about 1 minute then stops charging again. Is there anything I have missed or is it a faulty watch?

Mystery solved. It had nothing to do with the cable or charger. Unlike my old watch, THIS watch supports optimized charging. So it was not charging (even though showing the charging icon) because of its optimization algorithm. So not a bug, just a "feature" of which I was unaware.
