Apple Watch Series 4 Charging Issues

[ttobeck]

I have the Apple Watch Series 4 GPS 44mm, and I have noticed that if my watch gets in the red so 20% and below battery my watch doesn’t charge. I have restarted over and over, I am also on current 5.0.1 which was supposed to fix this bug, but it definitely has not fixed anything.

Currently wearing my watch since Tuesday night without taking it off. It's the first time it's gotten below 10% (currently at 7%). I guess I will find out soon...

This is my second time getting below 20% and same result as well.

What did you do to get it to charge the first time this happened?

Reset twice, and just left it on the charger for a few minutes and now started charging.

Reset twice, and just left it on the charger for a few minutes and now started charging, but I had tried different chargers and outlet and nothing worked it kind of just happens on its own to charge again. Nothing really triggers it start working it just happens.

So after 2 days and 15 hours of usage my watch finally shut off today because the battery ran all the way down. I put it on the charger and it was at 100% when I checked 2 hours later.

Okay, thank you for your update! Next time try to charge while in the red so below 20% to see if you experience the same thing. I’m also waiting for the watchOS 5.1 update before I contact AppleCare to see if that fixes my problem.

had mine for almost 4 weeks, I charge every other day, mostly when it’s between 10-20%, sometimes below 10% - no issues experienced so far, on 5.01

Are you using a stand with your charging puck? If so, make sure it's pushed right up to the front. I had a charging problem before (anytime I charged). I found out it was the charging puck positioning on the stand.

It might just be a coincidence for you regarding the charging problem happening below 20%.

Okay thank you! My only theory is that even though my watch says it’s updated that it wasn’t installed correctly so that’s the reason that I’m still experiencing this bug.

Nope just using the charger that came with it, but my wife has a S3 so I’ll use hers as well and still have the problem.

UPDATE: I am currently up to date and am experiencing the same issues, if no one is else having this issues then sounds like it might hardware and software.

No issue here as well.
