Apple Watch battery not charging fully

Last week I updated the watch OS and for a while that seemed to fix this but, no. I checked this morning after my watch was on the charger for 8 hours and the charge is only 99%. I would bet that if I put it on my charging cable connect to my MacBook Pro that it would top it off to 100%. Still pretty sure that it is a software issue not a hardware issue.

Last night I updated my software for my apple watch. It was working beautifully, fully charging every day (the batter would run down to about 30% after all my workouts and other activities). I've had 2 other software updates with this watch and repaired to a new phone with no issues ever. However, after this last software update, it won't charge past 80%. I tried doing a hard reboot, unpairing the device and other suggestions listed in the community feedback. Nothing works. I'm extremely frustrated!

I have this issue too. Seems to only have been in the last month or so. I suspect it's a software issue. Would be great to know that the devs understand that there is an issue and address it.

I did the hard reset no good back at 95%. This is the second Apple 3 watch that I have had this issue with.

i Have the same problem. Power off the watch and restart fixes the issue but it come back every few days.

Thank you. This has saved me a two hour round trip to the Apple Store! Will wait for them to patch it.

I also have this Problem. Until recently the Apple Watch charged to about 95% over night. Now I am also down to a maximum charge of 93%. I am only using official Apple charging accessories and restarting the watch only helped for 1-2 days. I am using an Apple Watch Series 3 LTE, if anyone is wondering.

I wonder if it’s because I don’t let it run completely down so I’m going to try that and it it doesn’t work then I’ll go to the Apple store. I have the warranty on it
