Your charging puck will magnetically attach to the back of your Apple Watch


The other end of the puck will have either a USB-A connector (older Apple Watches) or a USB-C connector (newer Apple Watches)


Plug the USB connector into a compatible personal computer USB port, or a compatible USB power brick.


If the connector is USB-C, you can use your Mac’s power brick.


If you do not have a compatible USB port or charging brick, you can use any manufacturer’s USB charging brick. 20watts is the ideal power level, you can use a lower or higher wattage, but 20watts or more allows fast charging.


There are also charging stands, which may be more convenient on your nightstand, so you can charge it overnight without cables dangling around your bed.
