I tried it and it didn’t work. Weird.

Just tried mine, worked.
But it was position sensitive.
Slowly rotated it until I got the green light.
I also tried it on another wireless pad first so maybe I woke it up....

I might be mistaken but doesn't the old Apple Watch charger (i.e series 0) use Apple's own proprietary standard to inductively charge? If that's the case, it won't charge the Airpods 2 wireless charging case since it doesn't use the same standard (Qi)

@F23 what Apple Watch version did your charger come from and worked?
Judging from common knowledge I doubt this worked but I'm curious.

I can charge my AW3 with AW1 charger - I think it uses same tech

It is the Series 0 Watch and charger that I have. It works.
