The series 4 charger seems to be slightly different than the series 3 chargers. They both charge but the dished recess on the old chargers doesn’t match the new watch profiles. Can anyone confirm?

See example Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable (1 m) — Apple and scroll down until you can see and expand Compatibility. All series 1-4 are listed as compatible.

The AC power block with USB output port is absolutely common to all devices, limited only by its maximum rated capacity. A high rating 10 or 12 Watt adapter will still charge small devices like Apple Watch, but the lower rated 5W adaptor supplied with the watch will struggle to charge a hungry device like iPad.

That doesn’t answer my question. Compatibility isn’t the issue. I was asking to confirm that the Series 4 charger has different CAD geometry than the Older chargers. I know it is different but wanted a confirmation.

The Apple store online does not seem to show any charging accessories specific for Series 4. I think you are wrong, but if you think there are non trivial differences (not manufacturing tolerances) I suggest you get your instruments and start gathering the evidence the hard way, because Apple doesn’t publish the design and manufacturing drawings.

I was able to find technical plans ’s for the 40mm Apple Watch published by Apple Insider that they say were published in Apple’s Developer Resources.

I have not found plans for the 40 or 44mm watches yet.

I also am curious about the compatibility of my Series 2 Watch chargers if I should choose to upgrade. This is the first information I have heard that there is any difference in the charging surfaces.

The charger interface for all Apple Watches is identical from the original Apple Watch through to the latest Series 4. The part number and SKU have never changed, your Apple charging accessories will be 100% compatible. If you have a third party device like a charging stand you should check with the third party manufacturer, just in case the small change is case dimension (about 1.5mm) is significant.

I have a 2 and a 4. I have been using the series 4 for over a week and have only used my series 2 charger on a 3rd party stand in nightstand mode. The 4 charger is still in the box. To the naked eye (mine anyway) the profile of each back seems the same. Finally the compatibility list for the apple branded accessory lists series 1-4 as all using the same magnetic charging cable. I think that pretty much covers it.

Take a close look. The charging surface of the Series 4 charger is slightly more concave than the previous versions. I noticed that my watch was sort of sliding down on my 3rd gen charger and decided to look at the 4. It is different.

Oct 15, 2018 2:40 PM

Probably a manufacturing variance, all the same Apple part.

Oct 15, 2018 3:24 PM

This is interesting. If there is a difference in curvature which you cans see by eye you almost certainly have a manufacturing and QA failure, because the same part number is used for all series of watch. Contact Apple Support And arrange a replacement.

Oct 15, 2018 3:38 PM

No, the back of the watch is slightly more convex and the charger slightly more concave to make up for it. Works great.

Hi, again, different post. Related to my charging issues, I’m trying to find an original charger for Series 1/2 because the Belkin charger has a much shallower recess in it to the official charger that shipped with my series 4 watch.

Comparing the Series 4 44mm with a series 1, series 0 and series 2 (albeit 38mm models) the «D» on the back of my Series 4 is definitely larger, not in diameter, but in terms of bulge it definitely protrudes more from the flat surface of the case than the others.

The others on my belkin fit snugly, but the series 4 can rock about.

The difference appears to be about 0.8mm

I have a picture showing the difference the non-official charger and how snug an older watch is compared to the new series 4

@Designer007 might be interested

Picture below is a Series 1 and a Series 4 on the same charger, the top is the series 1 and is more «snug» and the bottom is the Series 4, and you can see the gap either side as it appears to be more «D» shaped, I couldn’t get identical zoom levels in a hurry, sorry.

BUT; the official original Apple charger cable bought years back (metal casing around it) appears to be identical (in shape and fit) to the one supplied with the Series 4, both are more recessed than the 3rd party charger

Definitely note the zoom levels, the series 1 zoomed out a bit more gives the impression that the charge diameter of the series 4 is larger and the same area sits inside the charger, but actually the series 4 does appear to be more D shaped. I don’t have the tools to precisely measure the difference but it looks to be around 0.8mm

Apple Watch Series 6

The future of
health is on
your wrist.

Measure your blood oxygen level with a revolutionary sensor and app. Take an ECG at any time, anywhere. See your fitness metrics at a glance with the enhanced Always-On Retina display. With Apple Watch Series 6 on your wrist, a healthier, more active and more connected life is within reach.

Blood Oxygen A breath of

Your blood oxygen level is a key indicator of your overall wellness. It can help you understand how well your body is absorbing oxygen, and the amount of oxygen delivered to your body. The remarkable sensor and app in Apple Watch Series 6 allow you to take on-demand readings of your blood oxygen as well as background readings, day and night. 1

Breakthrough sensor. Powerful insights.

The blood oxygen sensor is made up of four LED clusters and four photodiodes. Incorporated into the completely redesigned back crystal, the sensor works in concert with the Blood Oxygen app to determine your blood oxygen level.

Deeply illuminating.

Green, red and infrared LEDs shine light onto the blood vessels in your wrist, and photodiodes measure the amount of light reflected back. Advanced algorithms then calculate the colour of your blood, which indicates the amount of oxygen present.

New sensor. New insights.

ECG On your wrist. Any time.

With the ECG app, Apple Watch Series 6 is capable of generating an ECG similar to a single-lead electrocardiogram. 2 It’s a momentous achievement for a wearable device that can provide critical data for doctors and peace of mind for you.

Electrodes built into the Digital Crown and the back crystal work together with the ECG app to read your heart’s electrical signals. Simply touch the Digital Crown to generate an ECG waveform in just 30 seconds. The ECG app can indicate whether your heart rhythm shows signs of atrial fibrillation 3 — a serious form of irregular heart rhythm — or sinus rhythm 2 , which means your heart is beating in a normal pattern.
