I just got a Galaxy Watch 7 to replace an Active 2.  I really like it but have a question. It came with a charging PUC but no plug.  I have the PUC from my older watch and several plugs.  Are this OK to use to use? It seems to work but I want to be sure I am not harming the new watch.

I also have an ANKER PD NANO 25W charger that I use for my phone, Galaxy 21 Ultra. Is this better or does not not matter.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I would say you are safe to use the older chargers....as long as the puck or watch don't get too hot. I tried my aftermarket stand and my Watch got a little too warm for my liking, so I stopped using it. I don't want to void my warranty or worst case, start a fire!
Use your common sense here people.

In practise, I use one of the two 3 device charging stations I own nightly for my phone and watch  and only used the included PUC once.

I want to bring something to everybody's attention because I see everybody using different chargers for these watches and from what Samsung told me from what I found out don't use any other charger except the one that came with the watch and make sure you use the Samsung charging block fast charge I have the Galaxy watches and I have the ultra watch and I don't use anything but the charger that came with the watch are you going to end up with problems

I have to admit that I am very confused. I have used the PUC that came with my active 2 and it seems to work just as well as the one that came with Watch7 and I don't notice much difference in temp but I don't want trouble later nor void my warranty. I also am not sure what plug to use; I tried an older one (not sure of the W) and the anker 25W and it does seem to charge more quickly with the anker but if I leave it overnight, speed does not matter. 

Hence my confusion. I wish there was some consensus among users or that Samsung had sometime definitive to report.
