Charge Apple Watch using far more conveniently available USB-A?
How can I charge Apple Watch using far more conveniently available USB-A?
Rec'd Apple Watch gift for Christmas. Don't normally wear a watch tho do like it once in a while.
At least now, I will not wear it daily. I want to store it unattended except when rarely want to use it.
I learn btty will be ruined if uncharged for long time.
To store it on USB-C charging source is unworkable and too inconvenient:
1) I have only one USB-C power source- my MacBookPro but it's in active use otherwise.
2) I bought a USB-A to Apple Watch magnetic adapter cable but it doesn't work:
a) watch doesn't go into charging mode on either of two simple USB charging stations or on USB hub connected to 2018 Mac Mini (though it sort of blinks in and out of charging mode every ~10 seconds.???)
b) its USB-A (?) plug doesn't quite fit the USB-A sockets on my 2018 Mac Mini (square instead of rounded corners?). Further both of my Mac Mini's two USB jacks are always in use.
I'm disgusted by the Apple Watch's charging challenges.
So far it's pretty much a toy that I won't use especially since charging it is such a bother.
