New Apple Watch 4-Charging issues

[Gp56]

Just got a black stainless model, love it so far. Noticed when I put in my charging dock the the green symbol comes on but the battery % does not go up. I see some other users have this issue and they either rebooted watch or turned it off and then put on charger and the watch charges. I did the same and the % went up. Is there an actual fix for this?

If you have updated to 5.0.1, you should be fine. Some users have reported anomalies charging the watch for the first time after updating, but I think they went away after the first time.

Are you using the apple dock charger or just the puck?

Came with 5.01. I have an aftermarket dual watch stand that the puck goes into. I keep my old Apple Watch on the other side.

I’d definitely try the force restart solution posted above!

I had an issue where my puck had slid back into my Spigen stand. After pushing it forward to make sure it's in direct contact with the watch, I haven't personally has any issues.

Are you using the charger that came with the series 4 or an older charging puck

Tried the forced start last night and that worked. Today, after wearing the watch for an hour, figured I would see what would happen, put it in charger, got charging icon, but battery % would not increase.

Using the new charger that came with new watch.

Charging is EXTREMELY slow for me on the Series 4. My Series 0 would charge in a fraction of the time. I need to call AppleCare about it.

I had the same issue with my Apple Watch 4. It still had the issue after I updated it. I returned it. Apple called to follow up with me to understand better what was happening.
