power bank with intergrated watch charger (as fast as USB-C)

[1rottenapple]

Hey all, I bought this power bank with Apple Watch charger for my ultra.

Unfortunately, the watch charges to slow for my liking. For example during my 1 hr commute, my watched charged from 42% to 68%. However, at home, my regular usb-c apple made charger for my Apple Watch charged it to 95% from 42% in a little over 55 mins. Does anyone have a positive experience fast charging their watch with a power bank with integrated Apple Watch charger?

Best bet would be the apple fast charging cable and a power bank with a USB-C power output.

Darn I was afraid of that.

Soon all MFi chargers will support fast charging for Apple Watch, but we’re not quite there yet.

Apple Watch Fast Charging to Be Mandatory for Accessory Makers

Apple has told Apple Watch accessory makers that they will have to switch to its fast-charging module, according to AppleInsider. Apple Watch fast charging was introduced with the Apple Watch Series 7 in 2021, enabling devices to charge rapidly from 0 percent to 80 percent in about 45 minutes...

I am pretty happy with it.

It is 30% off right now from Belkin.com in the U.S. (not sure where you are).

I can vouch for the Belkin charger as well. I was so excited about its release that I preordered it at full cost when it was first announced. It is indeed a fast watch charger.

As a USB-C charger, it puts out 20watts at a time according to my USB C power meter when charging my iPad Pro when the iPad is in a lower battery state. The charger does get quite warm, however, when charging the iPad.

When being charged the charger also seems to take 20watts at a time if memory serves (don’t hold me to this number… I cannot remember the exact number).

I wish someone sold a carrying case for it that would also store a usb c cable.

my only criticism of the device is I dislike the rubbery material used on the outside. While it feels good and is nice and grippy, it’s a dirt magnet. Would’ve preferred a hard plastic material.

But that’s a very minor nit.

So the belking can charge the Apple Watch Ultra or series 8/9 as fast as the usb-c Apple Watch charger?

Wow thanks for the belkin. I’ll keep an eye for a bigger sale. It’s on Amazon. It can also charge AirPods!

I have charged my Ultra while camping with the Anker 737. The 737 is a beast and heavy so you would not want to carry in your pocket. It will charge my iPhone and even the iPad multiple times.

Ya I have a 737. Very handy for my switch and steam deck. And laptop.

To be more descriptive, “Fast charge compatible Apple Watch from 0-80% in 45 minutes.” And, “Our Fast Wireless Charger for Apple Watch + Power Bank 10K delivers a fast wireless charge to your compatible Apple Watch 7.5W at the same time as you plug in your iPhone for up to 20W of fast charging.”

while I haven’t timed it personally, it feels like it’s charging my Series 8 just as quickly. (By comparison, I have the Anker Cube charger, and I’m not convinced it is a fast watch charger… seems slower than the Apple Watch charger.)
