Apple Watch charging problem?

Zeebedy · 21 Sep 2022 at 20:24

hey guys,

recently when I go to bed I can hear my watch making the charging tone every 30 seconds to a minute, very very annoying..

Its on a charger in nightstand mode, and the connection to the charger is solid, so I don't know why the tone keeps on and on and on! :mad:

What charger is it?

I think its a generic charger, not official, I wonder if that could be the issue?

will do, thanks Chris.

Ordered a Apple MagSafe duo which Is convenient so I can charge both my iPhone and watch at the same time, and going to collet a USB C official Apple wall charger tomorrow, so everything will be official and see how I get on with them.

I’ve got the same on my series 6 at the moment (unofficial charger). I’ve had it before on the previous version of watch os, but eventually stopped after a software update. I think it’s some sort of compatibility thing with unofficial charger, if I remember I didn’t have the same problem with the genuine charger (same power adapter) but I haven’t tried recently.

good to know, I mean its not causing me any problems, just when you shut the phone off to sleep, and a constant dinging, dinging, dinging, it does get tiresome! no pun intended!

thanks Guys.
