I endorse this. Slow charging an Apple Watch ultra is painfully slow and there’s no definitive way of telling a slow charging puck from a fast one unless you buy directly from Apple. The least they could’ve done was put a logo on the fast charger or ver 2 or something to visually differentiate it.

Forcing them to all be fast charging is the proper move as they’re also backwards compatible.
