Introduction
It takes about 2.5 hours to charge apple watch from 0% to 80%, and up to 3.5 hours to 100%. If you’re using a first-apple watch it’ll take a bit longer — approximately 3 hours to 80%, and up to 4 hours to 100%.
How long does it take to charge an Apple Watch?
It takes around 1.5 hours to fully charge apple watch from 0%. If you’re charging your Watch for the first time, it might take up to 3 hours to complete the initial charging cycle.
Why does it take so long to charge an Apple Watch?
apple watch uses a unique charging method that is different from other devices. Instead of charging the watch through a standard USB port, the watch must be placed on a special inductive charging cradle that uses magnets to connect to the back of the watch. This different method of charging is one reason why it takes longer to charge apple watch than other devices.
Another reason why it takes longer to charge an Apple Watch is because the battery is much smaller than that of other devices, such as iPhone or iPad. The Watch’s battery is only 205 mAh, while the iPhone 6s Plus has a 2750 mAh battery. This means that the Watch’s battery can only store about 1/13th as much energy as the iPhone’s battery.
What can you do to speed up the charging process?
Here are a few tips to keep in mind that can help speed up the process:
– Use the included Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable and USB Power Adapter, or an Apple-certified accessory.
– Make sure that you’re using the correct type of adapter for your country or region.
– Connect your watch directly to the power source. If it’s not possible to do this, make sure that there’s nothing between your watch and the adapter, such as a film or case.
– Check for any debris on the steel ring or back of your watch. If you see anything, wipe it off with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
– If you have apple watch series 3 (GPS + Cellular) or later, you can use wireless charging with Qi-certified chargers.
Conclusion
It takes about 2.5 hours to charge an Apple Watch from 0% to 80%, and about 3.5 hours to go from 0% to 100%. If you’re using a first-generation Apple Watch, it’ll take a bit longer — about 3 hours to reach 80%, and 4 hours to hit 100%.
