Aukey Quick Charge 2.0

[Obiwanhug]

Hi! I bought a wall charger from Aukey that allow to charge up to 3 devices at the same time, what is great since I'll be able to charge the phone and the tablet at the same time! According to the manufacturer the charger is able to adapt the output to the needs of the devices! So my question is, can I use this charger to charge the GWR without damage the watch, since the output of the original charger is only 0.85A!

I think it should be fine. I have used my charger a couple of times without issue for my GWR and now my Huawei

I've been using an Aukey quick charger for a month now and no problems whatsoever. Normal charging times obviously (blisteringly fast on S6 however)

So I don't need to hurry about the output current, or in other words, get the watch too much warm and reducing the battery life?

It is completely fine. The charging circuits of these devices (watches, phones, tablets etc) takes only what it is allowed by the limitations set to the charging IC circuit when supplied with 5v power over USB. I have an USB amp meter and the GWR barely uses half of the original chargers 0.85a capability. I've used my OnePlus One charger (a high quality 2A charger) to charge my watch as well occasionally, which also charges my Nexus 7 2013 regularly and that never takes more than 1A~ from this as well.

I've been using a Aukey Charger for a couple of months and no problem so far. The current regulation is supposed to be made by the device, not by the charger anyway ...
For those who wonder, I also checked if our G Watch R has QC 2.0, but it doesn't. It still charges at 5V on a QC 2.0 slot.
