Samsung Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic charging speed outed

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic have now been certified in China by 3C. This process has revealed the unsurprising news that both of them will get LTE-capable variations.
It's also outed the watches' charging speed, and it's not good news. It seems like both watches will go up to 10W, which is exactly the same as the Watch7. Of course, as you'd expect, both of them have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, GNSS, NFC, and wireless charging.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Watch8 Classic are expected to switch to a squircle-like case design, with the screen remaining round (in order to match the Galaxy Watch Ultra launched last year). The watches are most likely going to become official in early January alongside the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7.

I wonder why are people obsessed with charging speeds. There isn't a place in my life where there wouldn't be an opportunity to charge my device except when travelling.

I have to disagree. I have specific data from my doctor over years - 2 decades where I'm relaxed lying down and can in real time slow my heart rate and the ECG can detect it. A real machine. Same goes for the Apple Watch 3 Nuke up to the S8...
