Apple wants users of its products to use its chargers and cables, or, at least, products that it has certified. And this is not only valid for iPhones or iPads, but also for Apple Watches. Recently, the company updated its website to post a warning for Apple Watch owners who might be tempted to buy counterfeit chargers that are cheaper.
The speech does not change. “If you use a counterfeit or uncertified charger, you may experience slow charging, repeated chimes, and reduced battery life”, the firm writes in this new support page.
To recharge the Apple Watch, Apple recommends using only Apple magnetic chargers or those that are MFI certified. And in addition to issuing this warning, the firm also shared some tips to help users identify the right chargers.
The first thing to do is to inspect the product. Indeed, it can be easy to identify a charger that was not sold by Apple, if it does not have the same design (a different color, another design, etc.).

On the other hand, Apple indicates that its Apple Watch chargers must have one of the following numbers on the cable: A1570, A1598, A1647, A1714, A1768, A1923, A2055, A2056, A2086, A2255, A2256, A2257, A2458, A2515, A2652, A2879.
It is also possible to verify that the manufacturer of an Apple Watch charger is indeed Apple, by connecting it to a Mac, then consulting the characteristics in the system settings (image below).< /p>

Finally, to identify third-party chargers, but which are certified by Apple, here are the Apple brand's instructions: “To identify third-party chargers that have obtained MFi certification, carefully examine the charger packaging and the charger itself . Authorized Apple Watch chargers use the Made for Apple Watch badge on their packaging.”
