Hi all,

I’ve had my series 5 since Christmas, have been using it regularly on a daily basis without any issues until this week. This week I have already noticed twice that my watch shut down at around 30-40% and wouldn’t turn on until I put it on a charger. When I did, it suddenly showed that it’s at around 20%. Today after it happened I let it charge back up to 100% and after that I decided I’ll reboot it together with my phone. It turned on and was showing the “reserve power“ message, suddenly it was at 10%! Now it’s on the charger again charging back up. I have no idea what the issue here can be, anybody experienced anything like this?
 
To be honest this behaviour hasn’t occurred in our household, we have 3 watches. It sounds like a hardware issue to me.

Maybe best to call or chat with Apple support to see what can be done for you.

Best success!
