Constantly a charging problem

Every time I try to charge my (just over 1 month old iWatch) I get the red lightning bolt, and none of the apple suggestions work, to make it charge or turn off, I’ve tried two different iWatch apple chargers, including two different plug adapters and it’s becoming frustrating, and I don’t even want this watch anymore.

Apple Watch 9 only charging to 80% I have a two week old Apple Watch series 9. Went on vacation and I’m using a charger with a USB connection and a small cube charger, 5 watt., not the USB-C charger that came with the watch. My watch will not charge beyond 80% and I’ve turned off battery optimization. It just stops at 80% even after being plugged in for 10 hours and 3 different cycles. It also gets pretty warm. I’ve tried 2 different 5 watt cube chargers and same issue. Is this caused by the fact that I’m not using the 20watt charger that came with it?

Assuming you bought a brand new watch, it comes with a one year warranty. Schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar and show them the charging issue.
