Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger to USB-C Cable (1 m)
A reliable fast charging cable from Apple itself, priced above generic copies.
We bought Magnetic Fast Charger Cable for Apple Watch, USB-C, 3.3 ft. It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. It is the Apple made version of the same 3.3 ft magnetic USB-C fast charging cable, with a maker support page and wide retail coverage.
The short version
- Owners of Apple Watch Series 7 or later, SE 3 or any Ultra
- Anyone who wants a spare cable for travel, the office or a car
- People who already have a USB-C power adapter
- You need a power adapter in the box
- Your watch predates Series 7 and you only want the lowest price
- You need a cable longer than 1 m
What owners like
- Charges supported watches noticeably faster than older cables
- Solid build that holds up with long term daily use
- Easy to carry for travel or to keep a spare in a second spot

What it does
Apple's own 1 m magnetic charging cable for Apple Watch with a USB-C plug; reviewed here in place of the generic 3.3 ft fast charger cable it matches.
- Magnetic puck snaps onto the back of the watch and aligns itself
- Fast charge on supported models, regular speed on older watches
- USB-C plug works with current Apple and USB-PD power adapters
- Apple's fast charging cable is identified by the aluminum ring around the puck
The safe pick for anyone with an Apple Watch Series 7 or later, an SE 3 or an Ultra who wants fast charging without guessing whether a third party cable really supports it. The trade-off is cost: it is pricier than most look alike cables, and it needs a separate USB-C power adapter.

Questions
Does the Apple Watch fast charger work with older Apple Watch models?
Yes. It charges older models at their regular speed; fast charging only applies to Series 7 and later, SE 3 and Ultra models.
What power adapter do I need for Apple Watch fast charging?
Apple lists its 18W or higher USB-C adapters, or any third party USB-C adapter with USB Power Delivery at 5W or more.
How fast does an Apple Watch charge with this cable?
Apple says about 45 minutes to 80% for Series 7 to 9 and SE 3, about 30 minutes for Series 10 and later, and about an hour for the first two Ultra models.
How can I tell if a cable supports fast charging?
Apple says its fast charging cable has a USB-C plug and aluminum around the magnetic puck. Chargers marked WPT on the puck do not fast charge.
