The little oem charger that comes with this watch sucks. I guess I'm too accustomed to the nice magnetic cradle charger I have with the original galaxy watch. But this duo charger (used the $50 instant credit) I got is pretty sweet. Looked like my GW4 said "fast wireless charging" and so did my phone. I didn't know the watch had a faster wireless charging capability. I'll look again this evening when I can part with it long enough 😁

Yes let us know maybe I'll get that. I have a Samsung Wall Plug I think it came with my Gear S3 or Galaxy Watch I don't remember but I use it with my A2 charger. But when I tried to charge my A2 in this cradle from my previous watch it didn't work it flashed red and wouldn't charge. So I use the A2 charger with this wall plug in I had and today I took an old fast adaptive wall charger from my S9 plus or S10 plus and used it with the new charger for this watch and I seemed to think it charged pretty fast.
 
The form factor of these multi-chargers just doesn't work with my watches. I use stainless band and the back had to sit under it.

What I do is sit it under the charger and it works fine. When I say sit it under I basically slide the watch over the dual charger where the face is sitting on the charger and the band is wrapped around the charger.

I have the original duo charger hanging around still. I used to use it with my Gear S3 Frontier as I have a nylon band. My Classic watches used the standard charger as it worked great with the band. My GW3 just came with the little puck so I bought the Spigen charger holder.

I keep my phone charger by the bed in an upright position. The duo charger didn't fit this location too well as I would have to turn the charger to have me and sometimes the watch would slip off and stop charging. It's just too much hassle for me.
 
I have the original Duo Charger too and just use it for my phone and buds. I use the included charger for the watch as I use the metal bands that do not separate. I used to slide it under the flat part of the Duo, but I found, overall, it was just easier to use the included charger.

The included puck is the same one as I have for my A2 but I thought I read somewhere the new watches charge faster I thought. I could be wrong. I thought about getting the duo charger but I don't really need it or have a spot for it. I keep wireless phone charger on my desk and hardly ever use it. It doesn't charge my 21 Ultra in my case when I take off my pop socket top in portrait but will in landscape but I have chargers laying around too. But I need to pick something out with my $50 I have the 20000 power bank which I love just big and heavy.

edit: So does this duo charger say fast charging for watch too? Considering taking my stand up Samsung phone wireless charger on my desk away and getting the duo just to use up my 50 bucks.
