Garmin Vivoactive HR charging problems

Silly Old Hector

Had mine for just over 13 months and today the watch won't charge when connected to the charger.

Anyone had this problem ?

Have you tried charging directly from a PC/Laptop via the USB instead of the supplied USB/wall plug? Also worth attaching the watch to the charger first before plugging it into the PC or wall.

Forgot to add that yes, I've got one and it's had the odd charging moment but the above has sorted it out for me.

Thanks tgd

Looks like the software has changed. Turns out it is charging, but not now indicating specifically. If you leave it on charge, the little indicator in the top left does rise to 100%.
