Wanted additional charger for travel. Watch charger works just as well as Apple original. No excessive heat and excellent charge time. Better quality than a previous after market one that only lasted a few days.

My apple charger stopped working. I was looking for an Apple charging cable but they were out of stock. The Insignia brand was available and 5 dollars cheaper. It has been working great for the last three-four weeks. Definitely give this one a look.

This is just as every bit as good as the Apple branded one, but at a fraction of the price. The one thing: if you plan to use it with a dock, do know the the puck is a bit thicker than the Apple branded one. Other than that, this works like a champ with a shorter cable

I didn't want to pay for an Apple OEM charger, but I liked having the backing of a major brand. This charger has performed just like the OEM version. I took off one star because it is significantly chunkier than the OEM charger.

Picked one of these up for an extra charger for work and travel.
It was cheaper than the Apple branded charger.
All I can say is that this charger works great. Not one problem, and it charges my watch.
Glad I bought it and saved money over the Apple charger.

This is a generic Apple Watch charge that is USB-A to watch charger. This watch charger is not capable of fast charging as it’s not USB-C. USB-C is required for fast charge. I do like that this generic watch charger allows for me to charge my watch and my AirPods on the same charger.
Thank you for the feedback. We’re glad to hear that the replacement is working just as well and meeting your expectations. It’s great to know that you found a reliable solution after misplacing your original. We appreciate your continued support and are here whenever you need us. – Keith | Insignia Support

The Insignia was a great price, just not what I needed.
The Insignia Apple Watch charger will charge the watch just as quickly as the stock Apple charger. Where it falls short, and why I returned it, is that the magnet isn't as strong as a stock Apple charger. Any small bump or movement caused it to separate from my watch. Since I bought this for my travel pack, I went with the stronger Apple magnet.

To protect my idevices I am more likely to purchase actual Apple products to make sure to issues arise to damage my expensive gadgets. Further, I recently read where the MFi (Made For iPhone, etc) certified third party cables aren't necessarily MFi and little less likely to be better than gas station specials. That said, this is Best Buy's brand and I assume on the up and up, and I just can't afford Apple's prices at this time. It's okay because this Insignia charging cable seems just as good, just as fast and just as well made as any other.
However...
The one caveat here is that the charging magnetic connector has a larger diameter than Apple cables. While not a big deal when you just need a cable to charge your watch this is an issue if you're replacing say your original Apple cable which you use with a stand dock. The larger ring around the magnetic connector makes this one too large to fit into any of these docks. There are other third party cables out there that are the same size as Apple's so I don't understand Best Buy making this change, especially since they sell the very docks these cables are supposed to fit in.
Poor design choice on an otherwise solid charging cable. May be used best as a travel charger or a backup. But if you use a stand of any sort this is a no-go.
Thank you for reviewing our Charging Cable. I am glad to read it is working as expected. We appreciate your feedback regarding the size on this product, this help us to build better products for you.
