Anker 737

Got an Anker 737 charger on 3rd Nov, 2022.
7 - Seventh gen.
3 - three ports (2 with type-c connectors and one with type-a) All ports supports PD(power delivery) - i.e clients can ask the charger the power they need instead of the fixed power output (like: 5W, 15W etc)
7 - not sure what the last 7 means.

First impressions:

• This product is new (released this year) - not sure why they decided to include a USB-A connector?
• When output is at about 100W, it heats up like crazy (hmm . . maybe not crazy . . but it gets quite hot) - while my Apple 96W would be as cool as room when providing max output.
• I believe they included USB-A connector to support ancient devices (about >3 years old) - but they don't seem to like it. My Apple Watch S3 and Pixel3 (don't ask why I have Apple Watch and Pixel) - keep on disconnecting every minute or so (maybe that's why they have a footnote to charge Apple Watches separately :hmm:)

Update (23 Apr, 2023) - It's been around six months. No problems so far. For the last one month or so, it's hooked to the power outlet 24/7 and my watt meter shows 0.0W when it's idle, that's something to like.
