Apple releases new Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger A3277: delivers up to 10W, priced at $29
Apple listed a new 1‑metre Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger (model A3277) for $29 in its online store. The puck can deliver up to 10W and is required—alongside a USB‑C Power Delivery charger rated ≥10W—to enable faster 15‑minute boosts on Series 12 and Ultra 4.
Apple added a refreshed 1‑metre Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger to its online store, sold as a USB‑C cable, model A3277, priced at $29 (USD).
The A3277 puck has been confirmed to deliver up to 10W of power; the prior charger was limited to 5W. Achieving the fastest charging requires a USB‑C Power Delivery adapter rated 10W or higher.
Apple states that with 15 minutes of charging using the new watch hardware and the new charger, the Series 12 gains 12 hours of battery life and the Ultra 4 gains 18 hours. By contrast, the Series 11 and Ultra 3 gain 8 hours and 12 hours respectively in 15 minutes; Apple says the faster times do not apply to those older models because the Series 12 and Ultra 4 include hardware changes—both the new watch and the new charger are required for the speed boost.
The 1‑metre Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger to USB‑C is listed for order on Apple’s online store at $29; Apple did not provide further regional pricing or shipping details in the listing.
