I have an Apple Watch Series 5 and needed an extra charger. Got the last one at Walmart in the town I was staying overnight. Realized I could not plug it into my wall charger because it was USB-C. So back to Walmart for a new charger. I used it to charge my watch but the puck and watch got hot. It does not get hot with my regular charger. Is this a problem? Will it harm my watch?
Apple Watch Series 5
This is most likely due to the power output of your new charger. The Apple Original charges with about 5W. When you charge with say 20W, a lot more power is being loaded onto your watch in a shorter period of thing and therefore more losses (in this case appearing as heat) are happening.
This is completely normal so don’t worry!
