both of these issues were pertaining to their #Apple Watch charger btw. the first one, was their 2-in-1 USB-C to USB-C + #AppleWatch charger. That worked fine, 'cept the USB-C charger does not seem to charge 2 different #iPhone 15 Pros - despite it charging other USB-C devices fine, AND its advertised data sync capability's completely false.

After returning that, I bought their standalone Apple Watch charger which came with both Lightning and USB-C ports. It charged 2 of my Apple Watches just fine initially, but by the 3rd Apple Watch I was attempting to charge, both ports stopped working and it gave off a burning smell.

So, yea, nah. Another off-brand Apple Watch charger I bought the same week also went extremely hot the moment I tried to charge a watch so I immediately returned that too. The only non-Apple Apple Watch charger I've bought was a #UGREEN one and that was perfect, expectedly since it was #MFI certified. The only issue with UGREEN's watch charger is that they don't sell it as a cable but rather as a 'USB stick'.

SO. Lesson of the story: buy MFI-certified Apple Watch chargers. Luckily for me, #Shopee 's return process is a freaking breeze - I clicked a button, filled in the return form, and arranged a pickup for tomorrow where their driver will come and take the parcel back from me, and have my refund approved the same day. Even then, just not worth the hassle. Fuck #Mcdodo (what a name, these brands).
