- A1570
- A1598
- A1647
- A1714
- A1768
- A1923
- A2055
- A2056
- A2086
- A2255
- A2256
- A2257
- A2458
- A2515
- A2652
- A2879

Third-party manufacturers certified by Apple to produce and sell watch chargers have certain “badges” on their packaging that will say “Made for Watch” with the Apple logo before the word watch. Look for one of the following badges on the packaging of the third-party Apple Watch charger you purchased. If you don't find it on the package, return it to where you bought it.
