Not compatible
| Watch | Why |
|---|---|
| Garmin Instinct series | The original strap gets in the way of the 60 mm adapter, so the watch can't sit flat. Nylon or flexible third-party bands may not be affected. |
| Garmin Approach S70 | The original strap gets in the way of the 60 mm adapter, so the watch can't sit flat. |
| Other smartwatch brands | They use a different charging connector. |
Step 2: check your wireless charger
| Charger type | Works? | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Magnetic wireless charger (Qi2 / MagSafe-style) | Yes | Snaps on and rotates 360° |
| Standard Qi charging pad | Yes | Center it over the charging coil |
| Wireless power bank | Yes | Center it over the coil |
| Car wireless charger | Yes | |
| Phone with reverse wireless charging | Yes | e.g., Samsung Galaxy with Wireless PowerShare |
| Earbuds pad on a 3-in-1 station | Yes | Shown in the video |
| Apple Watch charger | No | Apple Watch chargers aren't standard Qi chargers |
Have an iPhone? Your MagSafe or Qi charger for the phone works great. It's only the Apple Watch puck that doesn't.
