@robpank Welcome to the Community. Thanks for the details mentioned.
I would like you to try the following to clean your charging cable and watch:
- Clean the charging contacts on the back of your device to ensure they stay bronze or gold in color:
- Use a toothbrush with rubbing alcohol. Dry with a cloth or tissue before charging.
- Make sure not to scrape the contacts with anything metal, since metal can damage the plating and cause corrosion.
- Clean the pins on your charging cable:
- Clean the pins carefully with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol.
- Make sure that no pieces of the swab are left behind.
I'll be around if you have any additional questions.
