I’m not sure what changed, but I used to get notifications on my phone when my Apple Watch was fully charged, and I stopped getting them.

Those notifications seem related to the Sleep functionality and “Charging Reminders” toggle (in the Watch app on the phone), which relates to the Sleep focus and Health app on the phone. However, I feel like I’ve gone over every setting and nothing I’ve tried has gotten those notifications back.

Does anyone know the secret combination to make those “watch is fully charged” notifications work again?

I got a S7 a few months ago, and have recently had problems with it not fast charging with the original USB-C cable and a power adapter I'd previously confirmed did fast charge. I'm trying to figure out if the problem is with the power adapter, or something with the watch/WatchOS itself.

One example is that yesterday, in 32 minutes it went from 34% to only 52%. I removed and put it back on the charger, and it charged much more quickly (52% to 85% in 20 minutes), more what I'd expect from fast charging.

My understanding is that optimized charging is supposed to learn from your daily charging habits to decide when to charge from 80% up to 100%. My assumption was that the phone should always fast charge to 80%, then optimized charging decides how fast it will charge beyond that.

But I'm wondering if I'm mistaken, and optimized charging may cause it to not fast charge to 80%, depending on however it's learned your usage.

Does anyone know how these 2 features are supposed to work in conjunction with each other?
