Some Apple Watch Series 5 and Series 6 SE owners experienced issues with the watch not charging after entering the low-power reserve. According to user forums, it is a far wider issue.
First, the good news – if you are experiencing issues Apple Watch Series 5 or SE, the global service announcement acknowledges the fault. The remedy is a mail-in repair free-of-charge.
Apple wants you to upgrade to the latest watchOS 7.3.1 first. If its not working that is a moot point.
Users are concerned that Apple has taken so long to acknowledge the fault. Until now its advice was to unpair the watch, factory reset and re-pair to the phone. Invariably Apple blames the issue on heavy battery use apps from the Apple Store.
And with series 6 released, the series 5 has been unexplainably discontinued leaving the inferior, late 2017 series 3 still available. There is a strong concern about the resale value of the short-lived September 2019 to September 2020 watch.
The SE and Series 6 use the same Apple S5 processor, LTPO OLED, Wi-Fi 2l4Ghz and BT 5.
