The improvement in charging in Apple Watch 7 makes it 33% faster than in Apple Watch 6. Which, according to Apple calculations, goes from 0% to 80% power in just 45 minutes. The bad thing is that to get those speeds we will have to use the charging cable that comes with it.

But the requirements do not end here, but they also ask that the charger we use be of quality, recommending its own 20W plug that comes with both the iPhone 12 and 13, as well as the Apple Watch 7.

This means that if you have an old charging cable from a previous Apple Watch, it will only charge your Apple Watch 7 at normal speed, and the worst thing is that at first glance they are exactly the same, so there will be more than one mistake about it .

When buying a new cable, the trick is to look for the adjective "fast" in the name, since you want the Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger, and not the old Apple Watch Magnetic Charger, as some American media explain.

Luckily Apple has stopped selling the previous model but, until a few months from stock, we will continue to see them in stores.

Of course, for all those who have quality compatible chargers, whether wireless or wired, Apple's requirement will mean that your new Watch 7 will not be able to enjoy fast charging either.

A real shame since docks and wireless charging stations are really expensive and, although by power they should, they will not be able to quickly charge the new Apple Watch 7.
