  I agree, but it is going to increase the charging time for a car by quite unless the USB spec advances significantly.

  There are edge cases, but it catches above 95% of consumer electronics.

    Oh 100% it’s better than 6 different charging cables for various different devices.

  but trying to fit a receptacle in a smart watch is also not a good solution.

  including a small usb-c to whatever the hell adapter would be great too. just so the cable isn’t in the way all the time.

    I mean I imagine most all smart watches will switch to a portless design with a wireless puck, then you just make the puck detachable from thu cable and with a USB-C port on the side. Problem solved.

      Qi charging has improved, but still can’t beat a plug. When you forget to charge your watch and in a hurry it’s hard to beat a plug charge.

  Some kind of adjusted Qi2 standard for all smartwatches would be nice.

    Yeah I mentioned this in another comment, as long as the wireless puck is USB-C then you can still carry just one USB-C cable and power brick.

  My Apple Watch has a usb-c cable with a puck. One charging brick is sufficient, at least for my iPhone, Kindle and Watch. But there are so many other devices

    The issue is then that’s one USB-C to Cable for all your devices except for the watch which needs one USB-C to puck… The solution would be a puck with a detachable USB-C to C cable.

      My watch isblike that. It’s an old Huawei Watch GT and has a puck to charge wich I plug in my USB-C cable in.

        Yeah that would be ideal, I’ve found a few third party solutions with detachable USB-C pucks for the Apple watch, a first party solution would be ideal though.
