5 Quick Ways to fix an Apple Watch with a charging issue

If your Apple Watch shows no signs of charging, there are a few things you can do to resolve the issue:

Use the correct charging cable: Make sure you are using the original Apple magnetic fast charging cable with a USB-C connector or magnetic charging cable or one from a certified brand. If you are using a third-party charging stand, we recommend checking that your Apple Watch charges with the original Apple cable that came in the box.
Try other accessories: Similarly, if you have the option, try using a different charging cable and USB power adapter to rule out possible hardware issues.
Correct connection: Verify that the cable is properly connected to the USB power adapter and that it is firmly plugged into a power outlet. Also, remove any plastic wrap that may be obstructing the connection.
Cleaning devices: Make sure that both the back of the Watch Apple and the magnetic charger are clean and free of dirt or debris that could interfere with charging.
Force restart: In case none of the above steps have worked and your Apple Watch won't turn on, you can try forcing a restart of your Apple Watch. Press and hold the side button and the Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, or until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
