The Series 8 Apple Watch works flawlessly. No problems with the watch. Outside case and watch crystal had no scratches and looked like new. I needed to upgrade to Watch OS 10.3 but that went very quickly. Pairing with iPhone wasn’t a problem either. Battery health measured 99%. The ONLY issue that I had was with the enclosed wireless watch charger that came with the watch. This charger was NOT an Apple or certified Apple charger. This was an unmarked, no company name or logo 3rd party unit from Asia. This charger would literally “cook” the watch when in use. Thanks to Apple for installing a thermal shutdown in the watch otherwise I would of had a lithium battery fire on my kitchen counter. The watch would shutdown the charging process but still was very “hot” to the touch. Some of these wireless battery chargers are ONLY rated for 5W using USB-C. Good luck finding a 5W power unit. I had one from an old Apple 6 phone that I was able to use and purchased a USB-A male to USB-C female adaptor to use as a watch charger unit. DO NOT USE THE STANDARD 20W OR LARGER POWER UNITS. Thermal shutdown will happen during charging. Please don’t leave the watch unattended while using these non-standard, un-certified wireless chargers.
Overall I am very happy with the purchase with pricing point that I paid. I didn’t need the extra adventure of the wireless charging unit. Too much drama to an otherwise great transaction.
