Apple watch charging cable.

Just got an Apple Watch 7. Comes with the circular magnetic charger. But it’s got a usb c plug end. Is there an adapter I can buy to plug it into a USB port? I have the usb outlet plugs available to plug into. Just need something in between. Anyone know a part # or something?

I purchased these from Amazon, and have used them a few times. They seem to work well.

I just saw this article here on iMore. If you want a charging brick, this is offered as a one day special for $17.98.

It’s $19.00 for a 20 watt charger.

The world is switching to USB C. If you buy a new iMac, it has either two or four USB C ports, depending on the model. They have zero USB A ports.

Almost everything rechargeable now uses USB C.

Hey, it’s on sale…

They have models with a lower price, but this one offers 30 watts on a single port.

Wonder how it will work hooking up to my bed that has USB ports. Not sure the wattage.

Just my opinion, you just paid a significant amount of money for the finest smartwatch on the market that includes fast charging. I have an S7 and the fast charging is a significant benefit. Get the USBC->outlet 20W brick to be sure fast charging happens.

This is an excellent point!

That does make sense and it points to a key consideration - how and when are you going to charge your watch. My watch goes on the charger overnight and so speed of charging is irrelevant. My buddy wears his watch to bed and puts it on the charger while he's getting ready in the morning. He needs the fastest charge possible.

You can get a 20W anker USB-C power brick from Amazon for $10.

Your individual use case is definitely the prime consideration. I’m in the same group as your buddy, I track my sleep as well as target work tracking (aka stress level) and workouts. Due to that my charging ‘rhythm’ is a defined period onto the fast charger while I shower and then have a cup of coffee. For me the fast charge upgrade from S6 to S7 made my daily usage flow line up so much better.

Go with what your use case needs. And if yiur use case changes, it is easy enough to grab a USBC brick . One friendly suggestion, at some point in the future try to start tracking sleep. The sleep pattern coupled with BPM and O2 during sleep is very valuable health info. And a surprisingly less know but nice benefit, waking up via a pulse on the wrist versus a sharp audio tone from my iPhone.
