charging cradle no longer shows green light when charged

[jrf1025]

Hey guys. For months the cradle would glow green once the watch (Frontier) is all charged up. But recently, it no longer does so...just stays on red even when the battery has reached 100%. It's still charging up with no problems. It's just the light that remains unchanged. I am still using the original cradle, cable and power brick. Anyone else experience this or have any suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks for this ^, now mine is doing the same thing, lol. My watch also displays "Use an original charger" or something to that effect, which I'm using the one that came with the watch....

Mine did that for a few days after I was forced to use the USB port on my Surface Pro charger. It only went back to normal after my wife charged her S3 from 0% to 100% on it.

I would be considered about the red light and killing the battery by overcharging

Mine is working normal now. I think I just didn't let it charge to 100% when I thought it was done

The wireless phone chargers do the same kind of thing. Your phone will say 100% but the chargers keeps going for a little while afterwards. I think the charge percentage displayed rounds up a bit too make you feel better about unplugging it, and that it is topping off the power consumed by the screen while charging. You might notice the lightning bolt icon stays in the battery icon for a while after it hits 100% too. When it's completely charged that goes away.

I'm just glad I don't have to connect my charger to my s3 using a rubber band, like everyone else and i had to do after the clips snapped off of our poorly designed gear s chargers.
