Apple Watch chimes while charging

After I updated my series

7 Apple Watch to watchOS 11.1 it began chiming when I placed it on the charging pad I have used without incident since I bought the watch. I know this is when it began because it surprised me when it chimed the first time I charged it after the update. It chimes later, I suppose after fully charging (I use the optimized charging option), but it frequently chimes more times. Not always and not the same number of times. It does it with the 3rd party charger I’ve always used and with my genuine Apple charger.


I’m at a loss to stop it. All the suggestions and articles say to use an Apple charger, clean the charger, check that there’s no wrap on the chsrger, etc. All done I’m open to new comments. Thanks

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 11

Did you check the battery health in Settings/Battery on your watch?

If it is beneath 80percent, your battery needs to be replaced by Apple.

Also try to force restart your watch by pressing and holding the Digital Crown and the Side button together for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.


If this does not work, unpairing the watch would be the next step:
