I'm having a little issue with my gear s not charging fully. I went swimming with it the other day and it got a little wet. I dried it up and everything is back to working as it should but now the only thing that seems to be wrong is the battery won't fully charge. Does anyone know how I might go about fixing the charging issue?

Does the chargers without the cable supposed to charge the watch to 100%? Mine will only charge to 50% and I have to plug it into the wall to get it to 100%

It says so in the manual (up to 50%). The charger dock has the same size battery as the watch. It is not possible to have 100% perfect energy transfer this way.

I bough my Gear S from another person. I didn't bother to download the manual. I will check it out. Thanks for the information

It only charges half of the watch battery. To get a full charge, you need to plug it in to an outlet. I travel a lot and I find if I don't pay attention to the battery level, the chargers gives me enough power to get through the day.
