Apple Watch Ultra optimized charge issue

Hello community!

I have purchased an Apple Watch Ultra the 15th of July and I left the settings as I found it, with optimized charging ON, but every time I plug the watch to his charger it keeps charging him till 100%.

Since I plug it every day from 15:00 to 20:00 (depending on where I come home) I was wondering why does it not charge at 80% as it should, since I always plug him at 40% battery or more.

Should I plug it at the same hour in a more precise way?

Does he need more time to calibrate?

Thanks for your attention and sorry for my English!

Quick fast charge during shower time will not initiate optimised charging.

You need:-

Bed time - on charge all night

Wake up time- Wear it all day

Repeat

Don't worry, optimised charging is not important.

By the way, a good optimised charging will charge to 80% in the night then charge to 100% in the early hours of the morning before you wake.

Check the Watch, Settings, Battery and see if that is the case.

showing 80% for a while then 100%

It don’t really shows that because I charge it with fast charge when I get a shower and then I put him back on, on some videos I’ve seen that there is a cap at 80% like in this pic:
