Series 4 charging cable

[slimbutnotshady]

i know it’s been a while for me, upgrading to a series 4, from a series 0, but man, this charging cord is frickin short!

My series 0 cord was twice as long. It was a bummer to find this out today during unboxing.

Yeah there was an uproar when that change was made. I don’t know which series they changed it on though.

Edit: only series 0 received the longer charging cable from what I can find.

It was a total surprise to me. It doesn’t take away from the overall product, but I would have loved the longer charger for my nightstand.

I already parted with my series 0 and my charger.

The series 0 came with a super long cord. My series 1 came with the shorter cable you see now.

Can you use a series 0 cable with a series 4 watch? I still have my S0 cable and was looking forwarded to having two cables if the old one works with the new watch. Thanks for any responses!!

You can. The only difference is length.

This saddens me.

Series 1, and now 3, don’t even include a plug.

That seems obsurd.

Is the series 4 Qi wireless charging compatible?

I was a bit disappointed with Apple when I bought the Series 1 and found a too-short cable with no plug,

I got a S3 Nike from the refurbish store last Friday and it had the charging brick.

They just dropped it this week with the price reduction,

Maybe the older models then? The AW4 comes with a brick.

Series 1 never came with a plug. Now Series 3 doesn’t.

No. Still Apple proprietary.

The first GEN watch is offered a longer charging cable, then it changed when the Series 2 launched with a shorter cable. Not a huge deal to me, but for others, I can see why.

 

[verdejt]

No. Still Apple proprietary.

I thought that apple was going to make the AW Qi Compatible like the iPhone 8 and X.

 

[Barbs]

I thought that apple was going to make the AW Qi Compatible like the iPhone 8 and X.

That was the rumor. I’m sure it will make it into AW5.

How long is the cord? This will be my first AW.

It is Qi, but just a proprietary version of it. Apple made this proprietary version before the iPhone charging and is sorta "stuck" with it or lose backwards compatibility with current charging pucks.

1 Meter, a little over 3 feet. I had to buy a USB extension cable to have Apple Watch on my nightstand.

The current cable is the length of an iPhone lightning cable.

 

[danmart]

You can still buy the 2m length cable separately if you need it.

Wish there was a USB-c option.
