I got one and it didn’t work or, I should say, it works for about 5 minutes then disconnects. My actual Apple cable that came with the watch works fine.
I don’t think this is an actual Apple cable. Red flag #1-bulk packaging. Why would an actual Apple product come in bulk packaging? It makes zero sense. Red flag #2-no paperwork. Nothing in the package in the way of documentation: no marketing, no warranty, no serialization, nothing.
Woot needs to stop this bs asap. I trust Woot but this makes me rethink that. It’s one thing to get something wrong or sell something defective but saying this is an Apple product is deceptive and maybe illegal.

Thanks Pepper!
I did and got a full refund so that was good. I still wanted to put out there that I don’t think these cables are actually Apple products and that is my beef.
It could be a warehouse mix up too. Who knows. I’m glad they took care of you.
As far as I know, real fast watch chargers are not all white. They have a metallic trim.
I got mine and the usb c portion has dried brown stuff dried on it and the charger portion has scratches, smudges, and gunk stuck all over it. As a whole it looks and feels so cheap compared to my other Apple Watch chargers. I don’t think this is an actual apple product at all. Hopefully I can return it.
Yuck. Yeah you can totally return that. Here’s the blurb.

Tempting, but the listing doesn’t seem to indicate if you’d get the white (plastic) trim charger (style which came with my Apple Watch 6), or metal trim (Apple accessory sold separately). Sounds like grab bag.
I’m declining because a few years ago I bought some Apple accessories … 3.5mm EarPods came brand spanking new, in packaging, and have been used ever since. But some USB-A to Lightning cables all had some idiosyncratic issue with the Lightning plugs, they’d lose a connection unless I fiddled with them. Seemed like they were QC rejects that someone collected and resold on the gray market.
Sorry, Woot. Sometimes your “genuine” and “new” Apple products in “bulk packaging” seem to be like what we called “lucky bag” in the service. Maybe new, maybe not; maybe genuine, or may be very good counterfeits. That said, I ordered some AirTag Leather Loops and Leather Key Tags and they came in 100% bona fide Apple packaging, and are authentic.
Ordered 2 of these—received one new metallic and another one used/dirty white! Having doubts if this is authentic. Writing on metallic looks lighter than the authentic one I purchased at Apple Store.
If you’re unhappy with it, reach out to Woot! Customer Service as posted above.
Surprised to get an unlabeled, unboxed, tightly wound cord in a white baggie with no documentation or paperwork. There’s just no way to know if this is a genuine apple product or something pretending to be one. Is it an Apple Watch Charger or a Charger for an Apple Watch. I see it has a 1 year apple warranty, so I suppose that’s something, assuming it is legitimate. I would not have bought this if it was clearly communicated to be an off-brand third party charger, at least not at $20+
This wasn’t clear enough?
Yup, I contacted Woot and asked for a refund.
I purchased the USBC version and I’m not too sure these are genuine either. It charged my watch after some cajoling, but wouldn’t charge my AirPods Pro, unlike the charger that came with my watch. Already got a refund. Buyer be warned.
