I go my Apple Watch today. They sent a magnetic USB-C charging cable but no charger. I really don't understand about the different wattages for these chargers but, there is a charger for USB-C cable that is 20W for $19. Is this what I need? Does the higher wattage simply charge faster? Would I be smarter to get the regular Magnetic USB cable since I could charge my watch with my computer or any of my regular USB charger?

The old style USB-A charging cable will charge Apple Watch 7 but only as a slow charger. the new fast charge function needs the uSB-C cable and a suitable USB-C power adaptor. The Apple recommended minimum is the 20W unit, which has both 5v and 9v output ratings (fast charge needs the 9v output to be available).
Any charger that has a USB-C port will work just fine. the 20W USB-C Power Adapter is a good choice.
I have the same issue. The adapters I have for my other Apple products do not work. The slot is too big. Most stores in my area do not have any other options in stock.
I am wondering if it would work, or make sense, if we bought the regular Magnetic USB cable. Would the older cable work and make charging with our other devices more flexible?
