Instinct Solar Take Forever to Charge on Charger?

My Fenix 6, 6X and Delta all charge from 20% to 100% in a couple hours. Instinct solar tactical arrived about 40% charged but took EIGHT HOURS to charge to 100% on same charger and cable.

Wondering if others experience same.

I had this problem until I changed to the cable that came with my Instinct. This solved it for me. Fenix cable took forever!

Try cleaning your contact points on the watch

Could be also just due to a dirty or oxydated contacts on the old cable.

I'm having the same issue.

I purchased Instinct Solar few months back in Aug 2020.
And after around 2 months usage, suddenly I have this weird issue.

Normally it took less than 2 hours to charge from 10% to 100%.

But when it happened it took ages, start from 6 hours from 20% to 100% even sometimes a day just to charge from 30% to 90%.

I claimed the warranty to the local distributor and they provide me with the new watch.

But after i changed it in October, now I'm starting to face the issue again.

Where it took 4 minutes for 1% charge, so equivalent to 400 minutes for 100% which around 6-7 hours.

And i feel the HR Accuracy is less accurate after several time of usage.

I hope Garmin can provide the feedback about this issue.
