Hi all,

Can someone tell me what’s going on here, when watch is on its charger it goes into a loop every15-20 seconds?
Iwatch series’s 5

Thanks

Is that the proper Apple charger? The video is so dark I can’t tell. But if it’s not the proper one what happens when you use it?
 
I get that with one of my 3rd party chargers. Been doing it every night for 2 years… the watch still charges so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
It's possible the charger your using is causing the problem but there's a thread with a forum member complaining about the same problem..

Weird Charging Behavior since 8.5

After installing the 8.5 update on my AW4, I've noticed some weird behavior when charging. I put the watch on the charger, and it will charge without issue, however once the battery hits 100% the watch will start disconnecting and reconnecting itself from the charger so to speak. The day after...

I had this problem with charger from china, use certified one or get it fixed under guarantee. Not worth damaging the battery.
 
Thanks all, it is a 3rd party charger & as one of you said it’s only been happening since last update to the watch. 😢
 
@macnoggs - I don't want to speak too soon, but I believe the 8.5.1 update released today might have fixed the issue for me! I put the watch on the charger to install the update a few hours ago and left it there. It's been at 100% for about 2 hours now and while I haven't been sitting next to it watching it like a hawk (charger is on my bedroom nightstand) I've checked in on it a few times and so far I haven't seen it happen. I'll post back if I see any change in that.
