I'd actually prefer having the option to get (3rd party) charging cables offered separately on purchase, but since they very likely would NOT lower the price of the watch accordingly, I'll take theirs as a backup, and use my longer, braided 3rd party cable most of the time...heck, why even include charging cables. you should have an extra laying around![]()
And I have approx 20 5W or more USB-A chargers, 9 of which are Apple bricks, and only 2 or 3 of those are in use... The rest are 3rd party multi-port chargers, because of outlet vs usb charging port density (and that is ignoring the 4 or 5 usb-power outlet combinations in the walls...)
And all of that *after* selling miscellaneous old devices *with* their charger...
I also have a handful of USB C to A adapter plugs, allowing me to use USB-A cables with my USB-C ports on chargers and MacBook Pro...
Because of the environment, I am happy they finally dropped the USB adapter, and I could really care less whether their motivation is the environment, or the 99 cents or so they're saving on each adapter they do NOT include...
