Apple has released a fix for the Apple Watch Series 5 and SE for those who had issues with charging their device.

This update can be downloaded one of two ways:

1. Manually updating the device (see below for instructions).
2. Putting the watch on the charger overnight – with a paired, plugged in iPhone in the same area and letting it update automatically.

To update manually:

1. Put the watch on its charger.
2. Plug in a paired iPhone and have it near the watch.
3. On the iPhone, go into the Apple Watch app.
4. Then select General > Software update.
5. That’s it.

Note: Neither the watch or the iPhone will update unless the charge on both devices is above 50%.
