Any 3rd party USB-C power brick will work.

20watts or greater is preferred, although the Apple Watch will not use anymore power than it needs, so buying larger wattage is a waste.

Or the Macbook USB-C power brick.

Or get a USB-A to USB-C adapter.

The Apple Watch charge comes with a USB-C cable. If you don't have any USB-C power sources, one option is: Buy 20W USB-C Power Adapter - Apple
