Apple watch 5 charging issue

Why does my apple watch 5 cycle, beep and flash the watch face and charge level randomly while in the charger? Drives me nuts all night long.

It may not be one a stable platform. Slight vibrations whilE on the charger may cause this behavior.

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
