As noted by my 9to5Mac colleague Zac Hall, the company also updated the Apple Watch SE box to include the new USB-C cable - although that model doesn’t support fast charging. Luckily for those planning to buy an Apple Watch Series 7, the new USB-C cable for fast charging is included in the box.
With an updated charging architecture and fast-charging USB-C cable, it takes about 45 minutes to go from 0 to 80% charge. The entire charging system for Apple Watch Series 7 has been rethought to get you up and running faster than ever. The company also highlights on its website that eight minutes of charging provides eight hours of sleep monitoring, which is a great improvement since the Apple Watch battery still doesn’t last more than a full day.Ĭharges in no time.
However, Apple says that fast charging requires a new USB-C cable (which now comes bundled in the box), but MagSafe Duo owners may not be able to take advantage of this feature.Īccording to Apple, the new Apple Watch Series 7 can go from 0 to 80% charge in about 45 minutes when using the new USB-C fast charging cable. One of the few new features of the Apple Watch Series 7 is support for fast charging, which results in 33% faster charging time when compared to the Apple Watch Series 6.
