If you've already tried with known working cables and a known working power source, then you can try cleaning the charging contacts as described in this article - Cleaning the Charging Contacts on a Garmin Watch | vívoactive® 5 | Garmin Customer Support
If this doesn't help, I recommend reaching out to Product Support through their website at https://support.garmin.com.
I have the same problem with mine. I have to turn the device off after connecting the charging cable , then it charges.
My mother's watch has this annoying problem. I use Garmin charger + Garmin cable. My watches always charge perfectly, her VIVO5 is making me angry because when I insert the USB cable the heart rate light goes off (this is a sign that it has detected the cable) but it does not start charging. Sometimes it start charging after 5 minutes, other times it does not start unless I turn the watch off and on again. The contacts are clean, what should we do before returning it under warranty?
