Before resorting to braving the mall to go to the Apple store, thought I'd post here first.

My wife's Apple Watch, not sure which gen, functions fine, but while on the charger seems to get stuck in a boot loop.

It'll show the Apple logo, then the charging indicator, then the 'home [time]' screen.
After a short period, it'll restart to the Apple logo, charge, home.
This cycle continues until it's taken off the charger.

I think she's done a reset on it, and it made no difference.

I'm an Android user, so don't know a lot about the iFruit stuff.

That seems to be an issue that is being reported since the IOS16 upgrade and specifically with Series 2 watches.

Try turning off the 'Nightstand' option in the watch app on her phone (if she has it turned on).

That might break the loop.

Thanks, I'll check her iOS & Nightstand setting when she gets home.

The boot loop isn't necessarily an issue, it's the changing lights on her nightstand wakes her up, so she doesn't charge it overnight because of it.

If you can't fix it due to an IOS error, move it so it isn't on the nightstand, that way you can charge it at night.

Mines on a USB in the Bathroom dressing area and not on the nightstand.

We had a series 3 that did that. Ours was that it was trying to upgrade the WatchOS and kept erroring out due to space constraints. I had to factory reset it a few times and then push the update from my laptop or something. It’s been fine ever since.
