apple watch ultra charging extremely slow

I have recently purchased an Apple Watch Ultra (1.st gen). I seem to have an issue that the charging is extremely slow. On the first day it took 4 hours to charge from 32% to 100%. This is way slower than the series 7 I have been using before. Apple advertises that it can go from 0 to 80% in an hour… I’m not even close to that.

The software is up to date.

I have turned off the charge limiting.

I am using the original apple fast charger that came with the watch, and the 20W brick and there is nothing wrong with those. I have tried with a different charger, same issue.

Does anyone have any good ideas?

thanks

Apple Watch Ultra, watchOS 11

Ugh this is so embarrassing… I think I found the solution, which was a faulty charger cable.

My husband has another fast charging cable and today I finally could test it with that. It charges like a dream, I just should have done that before posting here. I guess I was too frustrated.

thanks a lot for the help guys :)
