Question simple. I do my usual to place my watch on a 3rd party charger last night. Wake to find my watch totally dead.

Connected watch to OEM charger cable I got with the watch. Immediately started to charge. Has this happen to others?🤨

    My 3rd party charger stopped working immediately. The day I updated to iOS10 it stopped working. I had to search for the charger that comes with it. My 3rd party charger still works, just not with iOS10.

    For several years now Samsung, Google, Oppo, Apple, and other companies have have been blocking non-certified 3rd party chargers from working with their phones, tablets, watches, and computers. This is because a large of those chargers do NOT follow safety laws and represent major fire risks as they are prone to fire-causing short-circuits, over-charging/overheating phones and watches to the point their batteries explode, etc.
