Can I use 29W Power Adapter to charge AW?

[Luba]

My search has given me conflicting answers, but I'm concluding that I can I use a 29W Power Adapter to charge my AW3 (it won't fry it), but it also won't fast charge it either. Is this correct?

I don't know the power coming out of a MacBook Pro USB port, but I can safely charge AW3 that way?

As I responded to your last post about the AirPods, I use my iPad charger to charge my Apple Watch. It will not affect it.

The watch draws only so much power it can handle. It does not use (near) full potential of your charger. Everything is fine.

Just to add to what iPhysicist stated. The charger is located in the watch and controls the amount of power that goes to the batteries. Many (including many companies) confuse the cable, adaptor or power supply as the charger. If you look Apple is carful to call the puck a Charging and not Charginger cable.

Wow. This thread brings a tear to my eye. Every post was correct on its info. Nice job all .

The watch charges fast and I never drain the battery below 25-30% so I see no need for a more powerful charger even if it did charge faster than the supplied charger.

Agreed. I have siri turned off because I never use siri. AW3 GPS Only. Battery life is insane. 1 Day+ of usage and it still shows >2 days power reserve and yesterday I even went on a 45 min workout.

The usage page is a useful tool thanks for bringing it up.

maybe I'm just having holiday brain fart here but isn't the end of the watch charging cable a male USB-A connector rather than a male lightning connector? How would you charge the watch?

You guys really should be told about this new service that allows you to search the web. It is called Google USB-C male to USB-A female .
