I purchased a new Apple Watch, Series 10, in late October 2024. For the past few days, it will not fully charge. The watch only gets to about 75% charged and then stops. I've tried rebooting, plus checking battery settings on the watch itself. Nothing. Any ideas?

Did you check the settings for optimized charging?
You can disable this feature and charge your watch to 100% each time you put it on the charger.
Have a look at the related article, in which it is also being explained, why Apple introduced this option:
About Optimized Battery Charging on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Thank you! I will keep the watch on the optimized charging setting for now. (It sounds like a good thing.) What threw me is the watch has always charged to 100% until a few day's ago. Perhaps the watch is now using my history to determine if it needs to be fully charged each day.
You're welcome 🙂
The watch may need a couple of days to recognise the new charging pattern.
