Are cheap Amazon 3-in-1 charging stations safe for an Apple Watch?

Reviewers on r/AppleWatch consistently warn that budget 3-in-1 stations often charge the Apple Watch up to 3x slower and noticeably hotter than Apple's own puck, because most use a generic coil rather than a licensed Apple Watch module. If your watch matters, prioritize MFi-certified stations like the Anker Prime or Apple's own ecosystem accessories.
