Apple Watch 6 slow charging

Hi guys


I recently passed from Apple Watch 4 to the Apple Watch 6

I am using the Apple Watch 4 charger and seems to charge the Apple Watch 6 takes ages


for example today put it on the charger at 30% at 7am at 8:30am was at 70%


what could be the cause? The charger?

any solution in case?


thank you all

Apple Watch Series 6

That certainly seems a little slower than I would expect. There are 2 components to the charging system - the cable with magnetic puck, and the AC power adapter. It is unlikely the problem will be in the cable (they either work or fail completely) but you could try using a different cable/puck. The charging adapter is a different matter, and if I remember correctly the earlier watches were usually shipped with a low powered (just adequate) adapter. I suggest you try with a different adapter, maybe the one you use to charge your iPhone.
