Can I use Apple watch charger cable to charge Moto 360 II? - Moto 360

I did some search, and found some people said apple watch charger can charge moto 360, but some people said it just looks working but can charge it, and even lower the battery level!
I just purchased a Moto 360 II, and thinking to buy a apple watch charger as second charger for my Moto 360 II!
Will it work?
Thank you.

You should ask in the Moto 360 2015 subforum

Not charging to 100% on wireless charger

I was using a colleagues unbranded wireless QI charging pad to give my 360 a little boost during the day and noticed it only charged up to 75% and the watch got a lot warmer than it normally gets when I use the actual dock. Is there anything specific I need to be concerned about with which wireless pads I use for it? E.g. certain Amp amount etc?
Me too, I was using a Samsung changing pad, my 360 gets warm and stuck in around 75%, with moto's charging dock there's no issue, all connected with same wall charger.
I have a Panasonic, an LG, and a cheap Kogan Qi charger and all three stop charging at around 85% and the watch gets hot. The moto one is fine.
Sounds like Motorola wants to be like Apple and want u to use their stuff only

Griffin Watchstand...

I don't see how this has anything to do with this moto 360? The first line says 'Our new charging dock for*Apple*Watch' so why even post this?
There is a chance it could work with our devices since both are QI compliant, I suppose. I won't be spending $30 to find out, but if someone confirms it, I might...

because IT WORKS with my Moto-360 for charging it!, Duh?.... I received mine today.. it's very nice quality and my Galaxy Note 4 fits nicely in front, so far it shows charging of my Moto 360. I needed something that looked nicer than that clunky Motorola charger and the Griffin is reasonably priced against the Motorola charger with a plus in a phone stand too... I have only used it for a couple hours in charging.. will post later in the week how it works over a period of time..
Reminder.... Qi Charger puck
Just a reminder... You do need to have the Apple Watch Qi Charger puck... I happen to have one, so you may need to pick one up from Amazon $44 or there is a Chinese company that sells a cheaper version for $12.00...
I'm modifying my Griffin Watch stand with a fan in the Center to cool the Moto 360 watch when it's charging, I already did the mod to the original Motorola charger cradle by putting a fan under it, it made for a better charging setup of a cooler Moto 360...

USB cradle for Moto 360

Found this on a chinese website. If only they would sell it across the whole world.

According to Google that translates to $11.11 US which sounds like a great price to me.
They not sell to U.S.?

I want to buy a cheap cradle which can charging the moto. Please recommend.
looks silly since it appears that you need to take off the band so the thing can get to the pins. if you were able to leave on the band, then that might be cool.
Look on Amazon for Itian Qi Wireless Charging Cradle for Motorola Mobility Moto360 Smartwatch
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VNZAW6I?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01
I paid $15.50 and looks and looks and works like Moto OEM cradle. It does not include a charger but I use one of my Samsung chargers ... I really didn't need another. It looks exactly like the Moto; the only difference I could see is it shows a red light when charging and a blue light when charged or idle where the Moto has a white light. Also, the usb plug seemed to fit better than the Moto. So far, no problems. I'm not sure I'd trust it enough to leave the watch on it after charging but I don't trust many chargers to do that either.

A can attest that the above mentioned charger is perfect, if not better than the oem. I've already bought two of these after the oem USB port came loose thus unusable after ONE week of using. Didn't want to bother with sending it back.
Edit: To address the last sentence of the quoted post, I usually leave it charging overnight and I've never had one issue.
What the OP posted on Taobao is not a charging cradle. It's a device to flash the ticwear OS, whatever that is.
have anybody bought this one ? seems cool, but very difficult to deal with the web site since its powered with chinese.

Choetech Fast Wireless Charger

I received my charger from Choetech yesterday and tested it with my moto 360 as well as a few of my other devices.
I figured that I should post my review (from amazon) up here due to the testing on the moto 360. I have bolded that parts people here will be interested in.
http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Char...r=1-1&keywords=choetech+fast+wireless+charger
First, this is an amazing charger. Choetech always makes good products.
I received this in 2 days and set about testing it.
I was going to make a video showing off this thing fast charging on a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 but I see that there are already 2 excellent videos up showing that. So instead I will show you the things they did not highlight as much.
OK, the quick charge 2.0 wall plug you can get with this is the best one I have ever tried. Just like the other Qualcomm certified chargers, you will get the self adjusting voltages (12v-9v-5v) to give you a super fast charge. The extra you get with this Choetech quick charge 2.0 adapter is the USB port on it is reversible! This is the first charger I have seen with this and I now think everything should have this.
Ok now to the real reason you are reading this. The charging puck itself is a nice clean looking puck.
It is defiantly thicker than the cheapo ones you get for a few dollars. It has some heft to it making it feel more premium.
It has rubber top and bottom to keep both the charger from slipping on your desk or the phone from slipping on top the charger.
It will most defiantly charge your Note 5 or other Samsung devices quickly.
It will also charge your older devices as well. I tested it on a few LG phones in addition to the Note 5.
I noticed no abnormal warmth from the charger or any of the phones I tested this with. This is a very welcome thing as most of my other qi chargers do have heat issues.
One final thing, I tested this charger on my moto 360 and it charged it flawlessly. Most qi chargers fail here and will overheat this watch, this one did not and it charged my moto 360 from 19% to full in about 35 minutes. that is about 15 minutes faster than the stock charger does.
I received this product in exchange for an honest review, this does not affect my opinion of this product.
The fast charging works for a Note 5 or S6 Edge+, right? As far as I know that's a requirement as the new charger operates at a higher voltage.

It will fast charge at a higher voltage on a Note 5 or S6 Edge+, but will work at normal speeds on every other Qi enabled device, including our moto 360.

Seems they have a cheaper standard wireless charger for other Qi enabled device. Same design but cheaper at 20 bucks.

I have not tried it but I would assume with how well the fast charge one works, the cheaper one should also work to charge out watches without overheating them.
Interesting charger! Are wireless chargers efficient and as quick as cabled chargers? How long does it complete 100% charging your phone?

Just from experience, no science here.
A normal Qi charger will take about 2 times as long to charge your phone as a standard 2a charger.
This fast Qi charger is about the same speed on a compatible phone as a normal cable charger.
The fastest way to charge is with a qualcom certified quick charger and phone, that is significantly faster than a standard charger.
Think I'll pick one up,no overheating,that's worth it alone.

Alternative chargers

Im currently looking for a charging combo where i can put my phone (oneplus 6) and the watch in/on at the same time.

This the one i wanna check out, but i dont really know if the apple watch charger works with the galaxy watch or if there is a fitting alternative for this stand..otherwise i have to be creative

I've seen the samsung galaxy charger duo which charges both the phone and the watch, and there are also a couple of alternatives on amazon if you search for duo wireless chargers
One of the main reasons I pre-ordered my Galaxy Watch here in the UK was that it not only came with the standard single wireless charger that everyone gets, but it also came with a free Duo wireless charger! The Duo is OK, though I'm a bit surprised it used micro USB rather than USB C for power and that the section to put your watch on isn't magnetic like the single standard wireless charger is (I guess it's not so critical because its horizontal rather than vertical).
Both charging areas of the Duo have "fast charging" written on them, though is the Galaxy Watch even capable of that? I think the retail price of the Duo (89 pounds in the UK) is scandalously high - it's probably worth about a third of that. Single Qi chargers can be found for 10 pounds or less, so to charge 9 times that for a Duo is ridiculous.
Im guessing your right, but im looking for an alternative that wont charge your phone wireless too (because the op6 hasnt got wireless charging though)
Same here, I have a Nexus5x (and no plan to buy a Samsung phone any time soon).
I might end up 3d printing a stand with usb-c for my phone. I just need to find some good Galaxy Watch charger for that.

That actually seems like a pretty good idea. If you do try and do this, you could share the model you used for the charger. Thanks in advance!

I honestly wouldn't expect an Apple charger to be compatible with anything but Apple.
I was in a Samsung Store and they have the Galaxy Watches on Display on the Chargers that look Great.
I would like to know How and Where and How Much.
How can I find the Samsung Galaxy Watch Charging Display Stand that I can Purchase?
Where is it Available to be able to Purchase?
How Much is the Official Samsung Galaxy Watch Charging Display Stand?
If Anyone Know then Please let Me know.
