Can I charge my Apple Watch Ultra 2 using a 96W charger or even a 140W charger?

Question

Can I charge my Apple Watch Ultra 2 using a 96W charger or even a 140W charger?

On the Apple website, it is mentioned that for the Apple Watch Series 7 and subsequent versions, it can charge from 0% to 80% within 45 minutes. Additionally, you may require other power converters, such as the Apple 18W, 20W, 29W, 30W, 61W, 87W, or 96W USB-C adapters.

However, upon clicking into the compatibility information for the 96W converter, it does not display any compatibility with the Apple Watch.

You can use a charger of any wattage.

The Apple Watch is ONLY going to draw what it wants. The watts are just potential that the device can draw on, but the device decides how much it will consume.

In general the Apple Watch will not draw more than 20watts, no matter how capable the charger is.
