Although you can still buy the old Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable, there is little benefit because the new Magnetic to USB-C Fast Charger Cable is backwards compatible with older watch models, looks the same, and is at the same price. You can use the old cable on a newer watch, but obviously without fast charging.
