Apple and Samsung have a long history of competing in the tech industry. One can only imagine that this competitive nature extends into its accessories. For example, it’s no secret that apple uses proprietary chargers for the majority of its current products. However, would it be possible to use an Apple watch charger with a Samsung Watch?
Can I Charge My Samsung Watch With an Apple Watch Charger?
Apple Watch chargers are not compatible with a Samsung Watch, and thus will not be able to charge your device. This is because they both use varying charging systems. Both devices use a proprietary charging system, and as a result, you’ll notice differences in the shape and size of both chargers.
Additionally, Samsung Watches with wireless support use WPC-based charging and thus will not work on just any wireless charger; instead, it will need to be a certain Samsung-specific wireless charger that is compatible with your watch model in order to work.
Thankfully there are other ways to charge your Samsung Watch without using the Official charger; each has its unique benefits. Let’s go over three popular charging solutions.
How to Charge a Samsung Watch Without a Charger:
Switch on Wireless PowerShare
With Samsung’s new Wireless PowerShare feature, you can provide reversed charge wirelessly from your phone to your watch. This breaking technology allows you to use your Samsung phone to charge your Samsung watch.
This feature is only compatible with the following models:
