This is how fast any Apple Watch can charge (and this is what you need for it)

Recent versions of the Apple Watch can charge faster than ever, but how fast is that? And which charger do you need for that?

This is how fast any Apple Watch can charge (and this is what you need for it)

It is of course very annoying if your Apple Watch is almost empty when you are just about to start exercising. But luckily your Apple Watch has something for that: support for fast charging. In fact, all recent Apple Watch models have this special function on board. This gives you enough battery in a short time to get through the rest of the evening.

However, not every model of the Apple Watch charges equally quickly. And then of course the question remains which charger you should have. We tell you what you need to pay attention to to get the maximum charging speed from your Apple Watch and what you need!

These Apple Watch models can fast charge

Recent models of the Apple Watch such as the Series 7, 8, 9 and 10 and the Ultra models have support for fast charging. There is just a small difference in the speed at which.

• Series 7, 8, 9: from 0 to 80 percent in about 45 minutes;
• Series 10 and Series 11: to 80 percent in 30 minutes;
• Ultra 1, 2, 3 models: approximately 60 minutes to 80 percent;
• Apple Watch SE 3: to 80 percent in 30 minutes.

Older Apple Watch models such as the Apple Watch Series 6 and the first Apple Watch SE do not support fast charging.

You need this to quickly charge your Apple Watch

With the Apple Watch, you get the standard charging cable with a small puck onto which your Apple smart watch magnetically clicks into place. But you don’t get a charging pad included. According to Apple, you need a USB-C adapter with a power of 5W or more for fast charging. You often have one at home and you can of course use the charging pad of your iPhone.

With most charging pads you can only charge one device at a time. If you still want to charge your iPhone and Apple Watch, the Dual USB-C adapter is a great choice. Other options can be found in the article below.
