So far the exact same charging puck has worked for all Apple Watch models in the past. And looking at the Apple Watch accessaries, it looks like the same charging puck as before.


So if you have an existing Apple Watch charging puck, it should work.


The only limitation is if you have a very old charging puck, that model will not do "Fast Charging", but it will charge the Apple Watch.

It would work just fine. It will not do "Fast" charging, but it will charge it just as fast as it charged your Series 6.


Fast Charging arrived with the Series 7, so the Series 7 and new charging pucks can charge faster when attached to a 20watt charging brick.


But the Series 7, 8, 9, Ultra I and Ultra II can still be charged with the Series 6 and older charging pucks.
