Hi guys, just bought my Galaxy Watch 7 44mm a few days ago and have been using the charger that came with the watch no problem using a Samsung 25w travel charger. I've read that the charger puck is 10/15 watt. My question is can I use a lower wattage charging station to charge the watch as I have been looking and all the docking stations are around 2.5 watt. Will that damage the watch battery because of a longer charge time and a longer exposure to heat.? Thanks in advance for any comments.!!

Charging the watch slowly won't do any harm to it. Charging slower will actually make the battery last longer as less heat will be produced. Last longer as in, not degrade as quickly over years. Same with phones, it's technically better to not use fast charging. Realistically, you won't own the device long enough for it to matter. Though if time isn't a concern, a low wattage charger is a nice thing for a battery

Won't be bad for the watch as it will make battery degradation slower but will charge at something like 6 hours for 100 percent because I have the watch 7 and that is what it saved when I put it on charge on my cheap wireless charger
