Using non-Apple charger?

[Mike Boreham]

Anyone got any views about using a (quality) generic charger, or about using an Apple iPad charger, instead of the supplied one.

The Apple supplied one is a 1A output so OK for iPhones but not iPads.

What about portable battery packs?

I would prefer to take fewer chargers suitable for all devices when travelling, if possible.

Thanks

i use a apple looking belkin usb adapter for my iphone with no issues as well as a 10,000 mAh battery pack for recharging on the go with no issues. i cant imagine the watch will be any different.

Anything that conforms to the USB standard (and has a USB plug )will work fine.

Have charged mine from various charging points including:

• iPod adaptors
  
• iPhone adaptors
  
• iPad adaptors
  
• Kindle USB adaptors
  
• An older style Apple 'travel' charger fitted with euro pins, plugged into the shaver socket on a sleeper train
• The watch foldy-uppy adaptor plugged into the laptop socket on a train
• Every other USB port imaginable including the ones in the car
  
• A TomTom adaptor plugged into the 12v

All fine.
