Facing the same issue here, previously mine could last a little more than 16 hours. After the update to OS6 its down to 5% by the time I reach home from work around 630pm

The charging coil is too big for smaller coil on AW. The wireless charging in the pad of for phone way bigger. Hence it’s barely detecting and charging and at the biting point of detection and off detection.

On the magnetic induction, there always a empty void. The bigger the coil the bigger the empty spot. Secondary school science got learn ma.

Haha science fail la.

No wonder Apple scrap the charger whereas 3rd party still make it. Sometimes my phone not charged even though I ensured that the charging icon is lighted before I went to sleep

Must aim correctly to have most efficient charging. Ideally the pad has a cross hair or mark for you to place your phone!

I’m using Apple’s AW charging dock so absolutely no problem. Previously was using a 3rd party stand with the AW magnetic charging cable attached to it, but perhaps due to angle/placement position, also intermittent on/off charging. Usually I charge overnight while sleeping and sometimes wake up in the morning, battery not fully charged due stopped charging.

Perhaps due to the placement problem as you mentioned. BUT mine also having this problem after updated to watchOS 6. Observed higher battery consumption and slightly lag. When I raised my hand, the watch screen is still off. Need I manually press or turn the Digital Crown. Even that, encountered 2-3 times that it is still lag around 2 seconds before screen turn on.

watchOS is still buggy. It now takes a long time to boot up too and some apps need updates to be optimised for the new OS.
