Apple Watch Series 10 displays coordinates instead of chosen face on non-Apple charger

I got a strange time display when I first placed my iWatch10 on its charger.

Have never seen this previously.

Upon removing it my chosen 'face' of snoopy came up

But, when the that display finishes a display of coordinates comes up!.

This all happened when I put the watch on a portable non-Apple charger

Something must have gotten messed up in the settings but I am unable to find what.

Any ideas sure will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Did you already try to force restart your Apple Watch?

To force restart your watch, press and hold the Digital Crown and the Side button together for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.

Is your USB charger certified for the use with the Apple Watch 10?

To be able to support the fast charging feature, you will need the original USB charging cable that came with the watch and at least an Apple 20W power adapter, or similar certified accessory.

Thank kyou all for yur help!!!!

I finally gave up and did a total factory reset of my Apple Watch.

Doing so fixed the issue and my watch is back to working as it should.

For sure a WARNING ... to everyone ... Do NOT us a 3rd party charger!!

Using a small portable charger for sure is what messed up the watches

software. Upon putting the watch on that little charger immediately

resulted in strange displays and making the watch ... and Snoopy not

operatable. Again thank you all!!!

That would be an option:

Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Can you post a screenshot of this particular watch face showing the coordinates?

Does it look like this?

If yes, this is part of the Modular Watch Face features. You can return to the normal watch face by pressing the Digital Crown once, which will take you back to this screen:
