Charging Speed of the Apple Watch Ultra Discussed on MacRumors Forums

Are others noticing a difference in charging speeds with the Apple Watch Ultra 2? I’ve been observing some peculiar behavior when it comes to charging my watch after a workout. When I charge the watch in the evening, an hour after rinsing and drying it, the charging process is noticeably slow. I start at around 35% battery, and it takes about 45 minutes to gain only 30%.

Notably, there’s a delay of 3 to 5 seconds before the watch even recognizes it’s on the charging stand. In stark contrast, if I charge the watch at a different time, without rinsing it first, the charging speed is remarkably quick. I can achieve a 35% gain in just about 20 minutes, and the watch instantly detects that it’s on the stand. This leads me to wonder if the slow charging after rinsing is as simple as residual moisture affecting the process.

Is it possible that even after drying the watch, any lingering dampness impacts the charging efficiency? Or could there be another underlying issue at play? I’m curious to hear if anyone else has experienced similar charging speed discrepancies with their Apple Watch Ultra 2. Understanding this phenomenon could help clarify whether it’s a common issue or if I might need to consider a different approach to charging—especially after workouts.
