About fast charge on Apple Watch Series 7 - Apple Support (IN)


With the release of Watch OS 8.5.1, some users claimed they could now fast charge their watch. However Apple never officially confirmed fast charging for Watches in India.


Now it’s almost 1 year since release and the Apple Watch Series 8 is out. Do 7 and 8 support fast charging in India now?

Hello pranav_v,


We can only go by Apple's documentation which states "Fast charging is not available in Argentina, India, or Vietnam for the Apple Watch Series 7". The technical specifications for the Apple Watch Series 8 in India states that the Apple Watch Series 8 comes with an USB-C magnetic fast charging cable.

I have taken the plunge and purchased the Apple Watch 8. I can confirm that fast charging WORKS in India at least for the Apple Watch series 8. Out of the box. It’s a shame though that Apple hasn’t updated anything on their website regarding this and their support staff haven’t been made aware of this. Anyway I hope this helps my fellow Indians
