Is it normal for s3 to charge so slow?

[dj1891]

I am coming from a fitbit versa, from flat to full power in an hour max, I put my S3 on the charger at 44%, and hour later its at 75%, it wasn't even flat when I started charging it, I can see a full charge taking over 2 hours at this rate. Is this normal?

For what it's worth, Apple quotes 1.5 hours for the Series 3 to charge from 0 to 80%, and 2 hours to charge from 0 to 100%.

I think the Apple Watch has a much larger battery than a fitbit.

It could also be rate limited by using inductive charging rather than direct electrical connections?
