Charging Apple SE watch

Can I use my old USB charging cable from my previous Apple watch instead of the USB-C that came with my new SE watch? The round magnetic charging connection/"station" is the same.

Yes, you can use an older Apple Watch's charging puck and cable. It will not give you fast charging, but it will charge the Series 7 the same as it did your previous Apple Watch.


Sometime in the future you may acquire for other purposes a USB-C charger, and use the Series 7 charging puck and cable.


You can also use any USB-C port on a personal computer, or a Macbook Pro's charging brick.


And any 3rd party USB-C charging brick. 20watts minimum if you want to use Fast Charging.
