Plug Converter

How large (in watts) of a UK plug converter should I use?
I’m trying to find the right travel “US plug to UK plug” converter to buy, but I’m unsure of how many watts the device uses. The device description says: “AC100V, 50/60Hz, DC5V, 1.2A” online regarding the adapter, but I don’t know how many watts a 5V would be. Can anyone help me?
To convert between currents and wattages:
Power = Current(squared) * Resistance
also, Voltage = Current * Resistance
As your device uses 5 volts, and 1.2 amps, its resistance is 5/1.2 = 4.16 ohms.
so then,
Power = 1.2(squared) * 4.16
Power = 6 watts
