I've just returned from a week's camping in the Lake District, and this is when I discovered that although my phone charges from my external battery, my watch doesn't . I suppose that I should have guessed that its type of charging requires AC, but it was a shame since I would have valued its feedback on days of tramping the fells. I really did wonder what my heart rate reached on some climbs!

Anyway, this is a 'heads up' to anyone who might be away from any AC supply for more than 36 hours or so – take a spare watch (I did).

I just checked my Watch with my battery pack and it appears to charge ok.

I'm making a big assumption that this is an Apple Watch you are talking about. It's charger plugs into USB so is 5V DC, should be no requirement for an AC supply.

OK, My fault. I should have spent more time adjusting the little charger against the back of the watch. It needs the watch sitting on a hard flat surface for the charger to sit in contact and even then it easily disconnects. A tent isn't the best place to try, but I'll know better for the future.

Thanks for your comments...
