The Pixel Watch doesn't support wireless charging, despite it showing otherwise

• The Pixel Watch has been found charging wirelessly on some occasions, although the experience is not consistent.
• While many instances proved it to be working, Google has confirmed it doesn't officially support Qi wireless charging.
• Users will have to stick with the proprietary charger that comes with the Pixel Watch.

Consumers who pre-ordered the watch were the first to receive it. People who got their hands on it began to use it on other phones with reverse wireless charging enabled and it seemed to work for a few.

The test of a power bank that supports wireless charging caused a lot of concern among users. The experience has been hit or miss, and that's why.

Victoria Song has also tried the same with her Pixel Watch. She used the battery-sharing feature on her phone and put the watch on the back for charging. It only worked for a short period of time.

The connection and charge stability of the device doesn't seem consistent when Song mentions it. The result was the same with a third-party docking station.

The folks at 9to5google have experienced a similar instance with the Pixel watch. 9to5 concludes that the watch is discharging even though it displays that it's charging when placed on charging pads.

After this, a statement was given to 9to5Google, stating that the Pixel Watch doesn't support wireless charging.

The statement says that Qi charging is not supported. There could be some charging configurations that work. It is not guaranteed that this will provide a consistent, steady, or strong charge. It is possible that this could cause the device to discharge. The inbox charge provided by the Pixel Watch is the only one it supports.

The recent experience with the Pixel 6a reminds us of this one. A new mod has been created by a developer that unofficially allows the Pixel 6a to run at a 90Hz refresh rate.

Wireless charging is not an ideal way to charge a watch, even if you can. Andrew Myrick complains about the omission of wireless charging in his review.

It's disappointing that the company chose to use a proprietary wireless charging system. It's a drum that I'll keep beating until it becomes the norm, but I really wish they'd opted for a standard wireless charging option.

We have to rely on proprietary chargers until we can figure out a standard for these devices.
