My Apple Watch fails to charge beyond 10%

According to Apple:

If your Apple Watch still won't charge, force it to restart. Press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, or until the Apple logo appears.

If that doesn’t help, then follow the expert advice from ⇢ Rudegar. 🙂‍↔️

If the battery health is above 80%, then have your cable and charger tested and replaced (if needed) at your local Apple Retail Store.

Good luck! 👋🏼😉

Things can go wrong during an update. The fix is simple for the vast majority of symptoms presented by simply force restarting the Apple Watch. The cause is irrelevant and no one here an affect the change. However, the fix is simple.

Force restart Apple Watch - Apple Support

This has started happening to me recently all of a sudden, with the same version and I think whilst the replies from Apple is generally good advice, for charging to suddenly start to be erratic for users, within a similar timeframe suggests an issue with the 10.6.1 update.

if it was me then I would check the battery health

in settings->battery->battery health

if it's under 80% they advice you to replace it

Apple Watch Service and Repair - Apple Support

Sometimes the force restart requires several attempts to get it to work. Another issue could be the wall charger or the puck/cable. Are they Apple brand or third party? approximately how old are they?

Since the update, I’ve had to force restart it every day. I wouldn’t call that a fix, rather a workaround. I look forward to a quick update from Apple.

I would recommend taking it to your local Apple Retail Store to have it checked.
