Apple Watch improves its fast charging endurance, but it will cost more
Unconsciously, Apple Watch has been available for 8 years. In the past eight years, the Apple Watch has gained a lot of praise with its excellent ecology and the interconnection of multiple devices. However, every generation of Apple Watch has been criticized for its insufficient battery life and long charging time. The experience of charging every day really drives many people crazy.
Apple Watch finally starts to roll fast charging and endurance, but it will cost extra
Recently, however, Apple seems to be aware of the problems with the Apple Watch, so it began to roll up its fast charging and battery life. In the area of fast charging, Apple has updated the official support documents and introduced the specific details of Apple Watch Series 7, Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra fast charging.
The following two conditions must be met if you want to implement fast charging on Apple Watch:
1. To achieve fast charging, Apple USB-C magnetic fast charging cable is required. The magnetic charger and USB-C connector of this charging cable are wrapped in aluminum.
2. You also need to use one of the following power adapters:
- Apple 18W, 20W, 29W, 30W, 61W, 87W, or 96W USB-C power adapter
- An equivalent third-party USB-C power adapter that supports USB power output (USB-PD) at 5W or higher
This also means that if we want to activate the fast charging of Apple Watch, we need to purchase an additional charging head. So users without extra chargers still need to buy another charger.
In terms of endurance, we can see that both the Apple Watch S8 series and the Apple Watch Ultra have been improved. The former is marked as 18 hours, and the low power consumption mode is 36 hours. The normal use time of the latter can reach 36 hours, up to 60 hours. Compared with the previous day's charging, it is an epic update.
By contrast, domestic smart watches are more conscientious
In the area of fast charging, domestic manufacturers have brought the fine tradition of mobile phones to smart watches. For example, the Green Factory OPPO, which is famous for fast charging and "charging for five minutes, talking for two hours", has also used the highly praised VOOC flash charging technology on the smart watch.

The OPPO Watch of the early generation was upgraded to VOOCWatch Flash Charge 1.0, and the OPPO Watch 3 series was upgraded to VOOC Flash Charge 3.0 by 2022. We only need to charge the watch for 10 minutes, which is enough for a day's power demand and fully solves our endurance anxiety.
When it comes to watch endurance anxiety, domestic smart watches don't need to worry at all. For example, Huawei's Watch 3 Pro and OPPO's OPPO Watch 3 Pro both use the dual engine technology. The dual system can be switched according to different use scenarios, giving consideration to practicality and endurance.

What is worth mentioning is that OPPO Watch 3 Pro, in order to achieve the excellent endurance performance of 5-day full intelligence and 15 day light intelligence, also launched the world's first 4nm Snapdragon W5 wearable chip, which gives strong performance and good energy consumption performance. In addition, it is also the first domestic smart watch equipped with LTPO screen, which can switch freely between 1-60Hz refresh rates while keeping the dial on, so as to save power.

Write at the end:
For Apple fans, it is undoubtedly a good signal that Apple has begun to pay attention to the battery life and fast charging of the Apple Watch. Finally, it can get rid of the "magic spell" of charging every day. Even if it is too busy and forgets to charge one night, it will not cause the watch to be unable to use normally the next day. However, compared with many domestic watches, Apple's improved battery life and fast charging on the Apple Watch are not worth mentioning.
After all, Huawei Watch 3 Pro and OPPO Watch 3 Pro, the two flagship smart watches made in China, have long solved the problem of smart watch battery life and greatly alleviated the problem of power anxiety in the business trip scenario thanks to the addition of dual engine technology and fast charging technology. In terms of price, the domestic smart watches represented by OPPO Watch 3 Pro also have more advantages and will be a more cost-effective choice.
