Will watch charging stands with an AC power supply fast-charge S7?

[dukee101]

The S7 watch now supports fast-charging with the new USB-C cable (which MacRumors has confirmed will even be shipping with the S7 in the box). But for those that own a charging stand like the Belkin 3-in-1 Wireless Charger with MagSafe, will the integrated watch charger also support fast-charging? The entire stand is powered by an AC power supply (not USB), so I can't determine how this would work.

I comment as I have the exact same charger and I was wondering the same thing

A similar question applies to MagSafe Duo...

Wondering this as well.

Good point about MagSafe Duo, as well as any other 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 charging product. There's so many of them out there now. The Belkin MagSafe product in particular is amazing, and I would love to know that it supports the watch fast-charge. I would assume it does.

I just asked on Twitter. So, we'll see what they say.

Great thread and I have same questions. Have both the Belkin 3/1 Magsafe charger and Apple Duo. Both great MAGA safe chargers and would be even better if being able to fast charge AW 7.

I have the apple duo too, hopefully it will fast-charge the 7

This Verge article that came out today seems to suggest that only Apple's own new Fast Charge USB-C cable will support the faster charging. ?‍♂️

Now that the S7 watches are out, can someone who has a charging stand report on compatibility with Fast Charge?

Subjectively I reckon the 3 in 1 does fast charge. Surely it’s about the wattage and not the connector? The Belkin puts out plenty of juice.
