Apple has released a new watchOS update today that aims to avoid an issue that causes the Watch Series 5 and SE to stop charging. But if you’re unfortunate enough to already be experiencing this problem, then you could be eligible for a free repair.

However, if you’re already affected and the update doesn’t fix it, then Apple suggests you place your watch on your charger (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204640) and wait for at least 30 minutes. If it still won’t charge, then Apple recommends contacting Apple Support (https://getsupport.apple.com/?SG=SG008&category_id=SC0215&symptom_id=20369) so that it can arrange a mail-in repair for you, absolutely free of charge. Do note however that Apple will still have to examine your watch to see if it’s eligible for the free repair.
