I bought a USB-C to USB adapter to go with my apple watch charging cable so that I can charge it via my laptop but the watch does not charge. The charging cable works when plugged directly into a USB-C port but does not work the moment I use an adapter. And I have tried different USB-C to USB adapters. Does anyone know why?
Hello vivien318,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you are trying to charge your Apple Watch using a USB-C to USB adapter.
The USB-C to USB adapter is not compatible with the Apple Watch. You can find compatibility information from USB-C to USB Adapter.
Take care.
Why not just purchase a 20W USB C charging plug as opposed to an adapter? With the 20W plug, you'll get 20W fast charging, which isn't possible with a USB adapter.
Thank you for your suggestion.
Thank you!
You're welcome. You can buy one at your Apple Store, your Best Buy store or order one from Amazon. Anker is a brand I like a lot.
