The Apple Watch's charging wattage varies depending on the model and the charger used.
Apple Watch Charging Wattage
- Apple Watch Series 7 and newer: These models charge at 5W using the included magnetic USB-C charging cable and a USB-C power adapter.
- Older Apple Watch models: These models charge at 2.5W using the included magnetic charging cable and a USB-A power adapter.
Note: While the Apple Watch can charge at higher wattages, it is not recommended to use a charger with a higher wattage than the one specified for your model. Doing so can damage the battery.
Factors Affecting Charging Speed
The charging speed of an Apple Watch is influenced by factors such as:
- Battery level: A depleted battery will charge faster than a battery that is already partially charged.
- Ambient temperature: Extreme temperatures can slow down the charging process.
- Usage: If the Apple Watch is being used while charging, the charging speed may be slower.
It is important to note that the actual charging wattage may vary slightly depending on the specific conditions.
