No charging after 8.3 upgrade

[Jon20001]

Anyone else experiencing charging issues?
I have a Series 6 I keep updated and have never had an issue. After the 8.3 update, my watch no longer charges using a third-party puck. Charges fine with Apple-supplied puck. Is it possible Apple added code to disable third-party chargers?

I've been getting this same issue with my Series 5/3rd party charger; started right after updating to 8.3. The charge indicator will come on, but it apparently stops shortly after.

Saw elsewhere that rebooting the watch and phone helps, but it didn't for me.

Same issue here on my S5 w/ third party charger. Rebooting watch and phone didn’t help. The Apple charger seems to work fine.

I can’t get a charge last 4% on mine either - this is crazy!

Which 3rd party charger isn’t working? I am currently traveling and using the Apple Duo folding travel charger. At home, we use Belkin triple charger for the iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods, but I cannot test it right now.

I am using two pretty generic chargers -- no name brands. Worked perfectly with 8.2. Not the charger, as it still powers my older non 8.3 watches.

I’m using a third party charger on mine and it’s working.

Same issue with my S7 Apple Watch and smartGEAR 3 mA charger.

Same with my third party 3 in 1 charger (no name brand, but seemed pretty solidly built). It took me 2 days to realize what's going on. It goes green on the charger when you first put it on but if you watch it after a few minutes you will see it stop charging.

The Applewatch subreddit is full of people complaining about third party chargers.

The question is whether Apple deliberately bricked third party chargers or if its an oversight.
