A charger for all connected watches
the India’s consumer ministry plans to add wearables to the list of devices that could set aside the different existing charging methods as of today.
A news that indicates that the use of a universal charger for this type of device will be common throughout the planet.
According to the Press Trust of India, it has been confirmed that the Indian government is considering a universal solution for charging portable devices
In a meeting between government and industry players, the USB-C charging solution for smartphones, tablets and laptops was agreed; as has happened in the European Union.
what right now unknown is the charging port type which market regulators in India intend to use for wearable devices. It is clear that the bet will be on the part of the industry for a solution already widely used on the market such as these docks or pogo pins.
This will force brands like Apple and Samsung to provide the right charger, at least in India, and soon spread to other countries so that there is a standard among all manufacturers. Rohit Kumar Singh, consumer secretary, says they must align themselves with the roadmap imposed by the European Union to apply this new directive in 2024.
