It is a regular occurrence for individuals to save on items like chargers and cords; yet, doing so frequently results in accidents and, in this case, shorter lifespans. Therefore, using an unbranded charger or cord may temporarily save you money, but it will cost you later. We advise purchasing first-party or approved third-party chargers exclusively.

Apple advises owners of Apple Watches to only use chargers manufactured by Apple or certified by Apple MFi in a support website, as seen by MacRumors. Failing to do so might eventually lead to poor battery life, sluggish charging, and continuous beeping. Apple has provided certain guidelines and illustrations to assist you in identifying legitimate Apple accessories as well as Apple MFi ones, should you be unable to do so.
