How to fast charge Apple Watch 7: Get 80% in 45 minutes

Apple has promised fast charging for the Apple Watch Series 7. The company claims that if properly equipped, the watch can be charged from 0 to 80 percent in just 45 minutes.

Unfortunately, only the Apple Watch 7 can charge that fast.

What you need to fast charge Apple Watch 7

MagSafe cable

You will need a new MagSafe cable with a USB-C connector. You can buy these in the Apple Store here.

USB-C connector

You will also need an 18W, 20W, 29W, 30W, 61W, 87W, or 96W USB-C connector. The smaller 5W or 12W Apple connectors only provide the USB-A outputs and are therefore not compatible with the MagSafe cable. You can buy them from the Apple Store here, or contact a third-party manufacturer. In a support document, Apple makes the following specifications for third-party adapters: The connector with USB-C input must deliver at least 5W of power. Here is a selection of USB-C chargers with the necessary specifications:

…or a device with a USB-C connector

If you don't have a suitable USB-C power adapter handy, you can use the USB-C cable to charge your Apple Watch from any of your devices with a USB-C port. For example, many newer Macs can serve as a charging station, including: MacBook Pro (2016 and later), iMacs (2017 and later), MacBook Air (2019 and later). You can also charge the new watch through the newer iPads (except for the entry-level iPad). Any iPad with a USB-C port will work: 12.9-inch iPad Pro (3rd gen or later), any 11-inch iPad Pro, iPad mini 6, and iPad Air 4.

Can you use the old cable?

If you have an old Apple Watch charging cable, you can still use it with the Series 7. (In fact, we recommend that if you're returning an older Apple Watch to Apple for recycling or trade-in, that you keep the old cable. However, you won't be able to take advantage of the newer fast-charge feature with that older cable. Expect charging speeds to increase the same level as the Apple Watch 6.
