Testing the new Fast-Charging USB-C Cable which comes with the Apple Watch Series 7 on previous generation Apple Watches including the Series 6, SE, Series 5, 4, and 3. Plus, one interesting thing about charging the Series 7 with the older USB type-A charging cable. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the shout out! Super glad you did this one. I really thought the Series 6 might charge significantly faster on the new charger. Thanks for the deep trip down the rabbit hole!

Absolutely, Matt! An interesting question you posed and I had to dig kind of deep on this one. 👍

Thanks for doing this exhaustive test Des. One suggestion though: this really could use a graph to show the various charging times. You moved so quickly through all of them it was hard to track which was which and how fast it charged. I was also interested in the new vs the old usb c charging puck (not just to old usb a puck.

I have one recommendation could you do a test of 0-50% charging speeds? the way lithium ion batteries work, they charge exponentially faster at a low state of charge. once they get to about 70-80% they rapidly drop off in charging times. for example it could literally take 1hr from 0-80% and 1 additional hr 80-100% so I believe the new fast charger would really only benefit small bursts of extra charge. eg: 0-50% on series 7 is 15m and 0-50% on series 6 is 30m

@YTYTYTY7 2 жыл бұрын

20-80% to be more realistic usage range. I have been doing that twice a day for about 20-30 minute charging each time for 7.

@AxemanMessiah Жыл бұрын

It seems like the SE or 7 would be best in this case. The SE as you get 1.5 hours charging on any USB device, and most "affordable" charging pucks use under 5W PD (2-3w commonly) that would make Series 7 much slower to charge than the SE (40 min approx slower). The 7 would be optimal f you have carry the Apple USB-C puck and/or more expensive ones (e.g Belkin). I'm equally shocked, I looked at other reviews to confirm but it seems everyone has some big differences in speed. I trust your video since it is so comprehensive. I may end up getting the SE instead of the 7, have the 8 now and feel like it's overkill.

Series 3 was the biggest surprise here, shaving nearly half an hour off its charge time with the USB-C cable. That is a significant improvement in my view.

@WodverWizard 2 жыл бұрын

What camp does the Magsafe Duo charger fall in? It uses a lightning cable, but they recommend using a USB-C to lightning cable with a 20w brick. Will the S7 charge as slow if not slower than the S5 on the Duo charger? I can't find any videos in which they test charging speeds on the Magsafe Duo.

@Kernal_Pan1c 2 жыл бұрын

You know the very first time I charged my series 7 on the duo I felt like it charged slower than my series 6. The next day I tried the fast charger for the first time and yea it’s faster than anything previously as to be expected. I’m back to using the duo and I still “feel” like it’s charging abnormally slower. Someone needs to rest this for real.

My wife has a series SE apple watch that came with a usb c charging cable that plugs into the wall plug box. It worked for several weeks but recently it stopped working. I looked at it and could see inside the wall plug box that the male pins were so thin that they got bent, likely because she tried to plug the usb c plug end into the wall plug box the wrong way. If that is what happened the design is faulty and those pins are wat too thin. thoughts and / or suggestions?

In India, Apple has disabled the fast charging on the watch series 7. Any idea how much time it will take to fully charge the watch with normal charging. I am already using Fenix 5 for the past 5 years and it still holds on for at least 2 weeks. If spending 2.5 hours every day on just charging is the case, the change from Fenix 5 to series 7, will it be worth it?

@anthonyanthony2783 2 жыл бұрын

I've got the Series 7 41 as well and I actually purposely don't use the fast charger that came with it because I want battery health to remain in top condition for 3 years, because that's how long I keep them before upgrading. I owned the Series 4 44mm for 3 years and in that time, battery health had dropped to 86%. Keeping in mind I charged it every evening to full with the USB-A charger, the fast charger of the Series 7 would most definitely degrade it faster. I really wouldn't want to have to pay 95€ to replace my battery in 3 years. I think battery health is especially important when it comes to the Apple Watch because the Apple Watch already has such a small battery which lasts 1 day if you use sleep tracking, do a workout and do one or 2 calls. I strongly suggest to NOT use the fast charger unless you really need to juice up very quickly. Great video as always.

@@MikeyBats I really think your Apple Watch or its battery or software has/had an issue then. My mom had the same issue of the OS telling her her iPhone 6S Plus battery was still at 100% after 2 years of use while she herself noticed it doesn't last as long as it used to. If you'd told me around 93-94% I could just believe it but 100%? Something's gotta be wrong here...
