Slow Charge

[warburg]

My Series 5 AW is on OS 6 and is charging VERY slowly. I have it on the charger that came with the watch and I’m using the new cable, but in the last two hours it’s increased only about 20%. From what I can see, it doesn’t seem to be disconnecting and reconnecting to the charger, a problem that some people are having. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I plugged mine in to do a charge from 10% at 9:30 AM this morning. It is now 11:15 and charge is up to 78%. Previous Apple Watched were typically charged for me to full in less than an hour. Definitely slower.

What was the charge when you put it on the charger?

I actually think it is somehow related more to os6 since I noticed that it took quite a bit longer for my S4 to fully charge yesterday compared to b4 the update.

It's definitely OS 6 related. I had to remove/re-pair and restart my devices in this order:

-Iphone
-Watch

I had my watch on it's charger overnight and was stuck at 82% battery in the morning.. then off charger it dropped like a rock

Mine is also charging very slowly. Put it on 25 mins ago and only up 3%.
