6x6, you forgot the 140W charger‼️


18watts or higher would be just fine. Anything lower and it will still work, but you will not have fast charging. The Apple Watch will ONLY use as many watts as it wants, so providing a larger than 18-20watts charger will not make the Apple Watch charge faster, so do not buy something over powered, unless you have another use for it, such as charging your iPad, or your Mac.
