DOES NOT CHARGE APPLE WATCH SERIES 4

I purchased this Apple Watch nub USB charger for use on vacation this past week. I have a MacBook Pro that I wanted to charge my watch with, but I didn't need the long cable. This charger is simple to use as it is just a USB plug with a cap and magnetic charger. The entire unit is compact which makes is great for traveling and just what I was looking for in shape and design. When put into practice, the charger fails miserably. I took screenshots of the battery level and times, and it took 3 hours to charge my watch 4%. During that time, the watch frequently made that ping sound that lets you know it is connected to the charger. That means it was constantly connecting and disconnecting to the power source. I used my wife's authentic Apple Watch charger that came with her watch on the same MacBook Pro port, and it worked perfectly. I ran this test again with a power strip that I always take on vacations. It has two USB ports on it. I ran the test a third time with a high-powered USB/AC adapter that I use for my Nintendo Switch, plugging it directly into the wall AC outlet. It has more than enough power for anything. In all three tests, this nub charger failed to charge the watch more than a few percent over many hours and it continuously disconnected, while the authentic charger charged in a very short time with no disconnects. In short, this watch charger has one job and it fails to do that job. Therefore, it is worthy of zero stars and I do not recommend it to anyone. Note that I am using an Apple Watch Series 4 and do not know if it works better with other watch series', but the chargers are interchangeable between them all, so I'm guessing it will fail for other watches. AVOID 1/5 stars.
