It will charge at 10w only.
To prevent the power bank from turning off becuase of so little load from the wearable. Like how most UPS's turn off after 5 minutes, if you use it to just power a modem or something. And then leave a bad review on Amazon saying it doesn't work.

For anyone who thinks that only voltage matters & not the amperage, I would like to say only one thing. A automobile spark plug cable carries anywhere from 15 to 25 kilo volts but ppl who feel it (including yours truly) live to tell the tale only because the amperage is v v low. If it was higher I wouldn't be typing this.
@socrates I just wanted to help that guy feel confident. I still added a post below saying too high of an amperage could be dangerous, but what do I know, I'm just saying things from class 12 physics
.
I understand you had some experience (good and bad) working with these, would you think a 2A charging circuit on a phone which does take more than that from 2A chargers can stop the excess current from a 3A charger?

No offense meant buddy
I would prefer to err on the side of caution & not be too trusting wth the circuitry in phones or chargers for 2 reasons.
One is even if things are in tip top quality, things wear out.
Two Different companies use different types of circuitry, I am not too sure they are all compatible with each other.
And I always remember that a Li ion battery is a potential fire hazard.
Also though there are standards to be followed I am not too sanguine about whether they are followed by all & whether there are checks by any institution that standards are followed.

Google requires new Android devices with Type-C ports to not break USB-PD compatibility
Smartphones with proprietary charging solutions over USB Type-C are often not compatible with USB Power Delivery, or USB PD. Google is changing that.

Thinking about it though, I don't think I'd ever put anything other than standard Mi charger on my Note 5 if I can help it. Not when it's my only phone . If I am in an emergency or if I can afford another phone easily then yeah, but I'd still go back to using the manufacturer one.
@mahadevan_iyer if you can,you can buy a replacement adapter from Xiaomi. It costs around 300-400 I think for the 5V2A. Think of it as insurance xD.
Since it's your old secondary phone, and If you think it isn't worth the 400 rupees investment then you can use the Poco one, both are from the same manufacturer, should be fine.
The way we treat our electronics change according to how easily we can replace them.
