Apple Watch: Users having Apple Watch Series 5 and Apple Watch SE had been facing issues where they were unable to charge the watches once they entered the Power Reserve mode for battery saving. However, now, Cupertino has released watch OS 7.3.1 in order to help fix this issue. Not only that, but the iPhone maker has also stated that for users who are facing the issue and are unable to install the update on the Watch, Apple would be offering free repair. In order to avail this, the users who are affected by this issue would need to contact the Apple Support and arrange for a mail-in free of charge repair. However, the watches of such customers would first be checked to ensure that they are eligible to get the free repair service.
Apple shared this information on its support page, where it also mentioned that a very small number of customers who had Apple Watch Series 5 or Apple Watch SE running on watch OS 7.2 or 7.3 were facing this issue where charging was being prevented if their watch entered the battery saving mode.
