Charge watch
A smartwatch does not charge like a phone. It is a magnet or a dock, and an angled placement is enough to miss the contact. The visual support below breaks the step down so the watch actually fills up.

About this visual support
The odd thing about smartwatch charging is that it demands more precision than most other electronics steps, yet it tends to land at the bottom of the evening list. The magnet contact does not always sit where it looks like it does, the strap can be in the way, and a loose alignment means zero percent in the morning even though the charger looked correct.
A visual schedule for this moment works best when it is concrete about the parts. Watch off the wrist is one image. Watch on the charger with the face up is another. The light or symbol that confirms charging has started can be a third. When the child sees the sequence, it becomes easier to check that the contact really took.
One concrete tip: keep a fixed place where the charger lies out in the open, not tucked away in a drawer. Then the whole routine is just watch off and watch on, with no hunt for cables. In the Routined app, the watch charging picture can sit as a step of its own in the evening, even if other electronics are charged elsewhere.
