Can I charge my Apple Watch with a non Apple charger?
Hi,
I wanted to ask if I can charge my iwatch SE with a non apple provided power adapter. Does it affect watch’s health?
Thanks

Nobody knows the answer to your question. In theory any power adapter with a compatible USB output socket and rating might charge your devices. There are may (thousands) of different power adapters out there, ranging from high quality devices such as adapters made by other respectable phone manufacturers, down to anonymous units which may damage your Apple equipment or even be uncertified and electrically dangerous. Even worse, there are also counterfeit copies of good quality adapters out there looking for suckers to buy them. Even the price you pay is no guide, you need to look at the seller and consider the risks.
My advice is to stick to genuine Apple devices, or devices made by other respectable manufacturers where you think you have a chance of getting compensation if the adapter bricks your gadgets. Avoid street markets, gas stations, and too-cheap-to-be-true online offers.
