Galaxy Watch 9 - really slow charging

Samsung watches are slower than other brands. I don't have a watch 9 but my 44m watch 7 used to take this long, and my new GWU2 takes several hours but that has a bigger battery. Make sure you are using charging puck that came with it and that the area isn't too warm

Galaxy Watch 9 Has Serious Charging Problems

Well yes, but its especially slow on Galaxy Watches. The Apple Watch series 11 and Apple Watch Ultra recharge 2x the speed of the Samsung equivalents. With inductive charging. So it is possible.
