Apple Watch 5 suddenly won’t charge

[markdrakeley]

I have a Series 5 watch which suddenly will not charge. When I attach it to tge charging disc it shows the green charging bolt. However within minutes tge charging stops and it shifts ti power saver mode. I’ve tried a restart and hard restart and nothing seems to fix the issue. Any help would be appreciated.

If you have another cable/puck try that, and try a different power adapter. If that doesn’t help, it’s your watch.

Thanks. Waiting on a new one to ship to me.

I had this happen to my series 5 a few months ago. I charge my watch on a stand each night. Woke up and went to put my watch on and noticed it only had like 10% charge. Put it back on the stand and it seemed like it was charging. Came back awhile later and it was actually down to 9%…Tried the original puck charger and it just refused to charge. Did a restart and that didn’t help. Eventually it died even after letting it sit on the charger for over an hour.

Called up Apple support and they wanted to try some stuff but I couldn’t get it to turn on…lol. Luckily I still had two months left on AppleCare for it. They arranged a next day replacement and I sent them the dead one back…
