I remember having this issue in one of the early 8.x releases, and I see where people where having trouble with the Belkin charger (that supports fast charging for AW), but I wanted to see if anyone else is having issues with fast charging on 8.6?

I've tried powering off the watch, switching to a different 20w brick, as well as an 18w one, with no luck. Since I wear my watch 24/7, going from ~30 minutes for a full charge to 2 hours is a big deal.

When traveling and using my S7 24/7 I’m using the Apple brick (came with my 11ProMax, 18W I believe) with no problems.

You might not like this answer, get an Apple brick. I don’t know why 3rd parties seemingly continue to have issues…

I do have the Apple 20w brick for this charging. As well as the Apple 18w brick.

How do you charge from empty to 100% in 30 min? Mine takes 60 min.
