Overview

• Users see the notice in Settings > Battery when the watch detects that charging could be improved.
• Charging status is color-coded, with orange for slow performance and green for fast speeds.
• Apple clarifies that the message is informational and does not indicate a faulty charger or Apple Watch.
• Slower results are common with car ports, laptops, or multiport hubs that limit power output, especially when other devices share the connection.
• To shorten charge times, Apple advises a dedicated USB-C PD wall charger, the supplied USB-C magnetic cable, a direct connection to power, and avoiding very hot or cold environments.
