The newest Apple Watches all support fast charging ... but achieving it can be a bit complicated.
When Apple released the Series 7 in the fall of 2021, it was the first time it gave an Apple Watch the ability to fast charge. Specifically, it could charge 33 percent faster than any previous Apple Watch. Its battery could go from 0 to 80 percent in just 45 minutes.
Since then, most new Apple Watches have supported fast charging of some sort, thanks to the new charging architecture built into each watch and the capabilities of the new charging cable-and-puck ($29) that comes with them. But you'll also need a specific type of wall adapter to make the magic happen.
Here's what you need to know to get charging, fast.
There are six Apple Watches that support faster charging. The Series 7, Series 8, Series 9 and Series 10 all support it. And the Ultra and Ultra 2 support fast charging as well.
The newest Series 10 supports the fastest charging of any Apple Watch. According to Apple, it can go from 0 to 80 percent in 30 minutes -- 15 minutes faster than the Series 9 to get the same charge.
