This item must be used with a USB-C charger that has a minimum of 20W.

The Watch Magnetic Fast Charger to USB-C Cable is included with the Watch Series 7 and newer models, as well as the Watch Series 8 and Ultra. However, the Apple Watch SE (including the most recent version) and previous models like the Series 6 come with the Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable, which does not have fast-charging capabilities.

The cables are both white and one meter in length, made specifically for Apple products. The most recent update includes a better charging puck.

The 7.5W Fast Charger Cable has a 33% faster charging speed compared to the previous 5W cable, allowing it to charge a compatible Watch battery from 0-80% in only 45 minutes. Even just an eight-minute charge can provide eight hours of sleep tracking.

The Apple Watch can be charged to 80% in approximately 1.5 hours and to 100% in approximately 2.5 hours without fast charging.

Fast charging requires at least a 20W USB-C charger, like you’d use to charge an iPhone; find our recommended best iPhone chargers for a wider choice that the plain Apple 20W charger.

Although the previous version of the Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable is still available for purchase, there is not much advantage since the newer Magnetic Fast Charger to USB-C Cable is compatible with older Watch models, has a similar appearance, and costs the same. While the old cable can still be used on a newer Watch, it will not support fast charging.

The included wall charger is 40W and requires a USB-C connection.

If you own an Apple Watch, there’s a good chance you also have an iPhone and possibly AirPods. In this case, a charging station is crucial to simultaneously charge all three devices and eliminate the tangled mess of cords.

The HiRise 3 Deluxe, which can be found at Apple, has the capability to charge three devices wirelessly. These include the iPhone 12/13/14/15 (excluding the SE), Apple Watch 7, 8, 9, and SE models, as well as the Ultra model, and all versions of Apple AirPods (2nd and 3rd generation AirPods, and AirPods Pro). Additionally, the Qi wireless pad for AirPods can also be used to charge any iPhone from iPhone 8 and up.

The charging capabilities of all the points are high-end, with 15W for iPhone, 5W for Watch, and 7.5W for Qi pad, enabling fast charging for all devices.

The Watch has two positioning options: flat or Nightstand mode, while the iPhone has a StandBy mode in iOS 17. You have the ability to adjust the angle of the iPhone by up to 35 degrees.

The item is taller but also more compact compared to Belkin’s Belkin Boost Up Charge Pro Wireless Charging Pad, which is discussed further down. This makes it a great space-saving option for your bedside table or desk.

The included charger is a 20W wall charger that requires a USB-C connection.

The Boost Up Charge Pro Wireless Charging Pad 3-in-1 from Belkin (sold at Apple) is the most efficient method for wirelessly charging your Apple Watch, iPhone (12/13/14-series), and AirPods in a wireless charging case.

This product offers both 7.5W fast charging for the Watch and 15W fast charging for iPhone MagSafe. However, the included 20W USB-C wall charger may not be strong enough if charging all three devices at once. A 30W or 40W charger would be more suitable for that scenario.

The Watch has the option to be placed flat or in Nightstand mode. However, since the iPhone lies flat, you cannot use iOS 17’s StandBy mode. The Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe, which was previously reviewed, is a superior choice if you wish to use your iPhone while it charges – it also includes a 40W power supply with more capability.

The magnetic charging module includes a precise dial that allows for height adjustment to accommodate different Watch screen sizes.

If you possess an Apple Watch, it’s highly likely that you also possess an iPhone and, let’s be honest, some AirPods as well. This means you have heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem.

Journey’s 3-in-1 charging station features a MagSafe-compatible pad (7.5W) that can be tilted for use with iPhones 12/13/14, as well as a Qi charger for AirPods with a wireless charging case.

The detachable Apple Watch charger is the focus here, as it can easily fit into your pocket and connect to a USB-C charger, such as your MacBook, without being attached to the main unit. While the Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe has a stronger Watch charger, the Journey’s detachable charger is a convenient feature.

Power up your Apple Watch and other compact Apple devices using this compact (but heavy) 3-in-1 cube. It is officially MagSafe certified and can provide wireless charging for iPhone 12/13/14 at a speed of 15W.

The Watch and AirPods charge at a slower rate of 5W, so there is no option for fast charging the Watch.

This compact charger offers portability with its 3-in-1 power options, all conveniently packed into one small device. When not in use, the Watch charging component can be concealed within the Anker Cube.

The Watch can be charged while lying flat or in Nightstand mode using the magnetic charging module.

The dock includes a 4-foot (1.2m) USB-C cable that can be neatly wrapped under the dock to maintain a clutter-free space.

The color scheme is black, with the exception of the watch module which is white.

A USB-C charger is necessary and a 20W wall charger is provided.

The typical charging stands for iPhones tend to be large because they have to support the phone in a vertical position. However, this charger for Watch, iPhone, and AirPods is able to fold into a compact and lightweight design.

The module used for charging the Watch is detachable and connects to the charger using a USB-C connector. It is equipped with Apple’s initial charging module, which does not have the capability for fast charging the Watch. Despite being white, it may not match the black charger, but this should not be of concern.

We are impressed by the fact that this officially certified device, designed for the Watch, is capable of charging three Apple devices simultaneously. Furthermore, it can easily fit into your pocket once you are finished using it. Please note that you will need either the 20W charger and 5ft cable that comes with it, or your own USB-C charger and cable.

Conveniently, the entire bundle can be stored in a compact and included travel case.

Unfortunately, it does not have the capability to fast charge Apple Watches. However, it is certified by MagSafe to provide a full 15W charge for iPhones 12 and newer models.

There is a charming protective travel case for storing the braided USB-C cable and charger while traveling. It is a reliable charger that can be used regularly, not just for travel purposes.

This portable power bank has a capacity of 3000mAh and is capable of quickly charging an Apple Watch at 7.5W. Additionally, it can wirelessly charge AirPods Pro (2nd generation) and charge an iPhone (or any other device) with a wire at 15W.

The power bank has four LED lights that indicate when it needs to be recharged. During our testing, we were able to recharge a fully drained Apple Watch 8 almost four times (3.8x).

If you’re planning a five-day camping trip and won’t have access to a wall power socket, this Watch has a great battery capacity that will last. However, if you also need to charge your iPhone, its power may not be enough. Belkin’s BoostCharge Pro Apple Watch power bank has three times the capacity, but it is larger and heavier.

The weight of the Otterbox Apple Watch Power Bank is 6.6 ounces (188 grams).

Pass-through charging enables you to charge your Apple Watch wirelessly while also charging the power bank.

The package includes a USB-C to USB-C cable that measures 20 inches (50cm) in length.

“This device necessitates a 20W USB-C charger.”

The Belkin BoostCharge Pro Fast Wireless Charger for Apple Watch + Power Bank 10K is more expensive and has a greater weight compared to the OtterBox Apple Watch Power Bank. However, it has a powerful 10000mAh capacity that can quickly charge an Apple Watch at 7.5W or wirelessly charge AirPods Pro (2nd generation). It can also provide a wired charge of 20W for an iPhone or any other device.

Although it is larger and heavier than the OtterBox, its triple battery capacity makes it a practical option if you require multiple charges for both your Watch and iPhone.

This battery pack has the capability to charge a Watch up to eight times or an iPhone 14 twice. It is highly probable that you will need to charge both devices at least once, but this battery pack can easily handle that.

The package includes a 12-inch (30cm) USB-C to USB-C cable.

It is also compatible with fast charging for the Apple Watch.

The stand elevates the iPhone while it charges, making it more convenient for using FaceTime or watching videos. It also supports StandBy mode on iOS 17. Instead of using the Apple Watch while sitting, it’s better to charge it or put it on standby.

This portable wireless charger from Alogic functions similarly to the Satechi portable USB-C charger, but is slightly smaller and lighter while maintaining the same level of flexibility.

The Alogic Matrix family includes a modular design that allows for flexibility. This means it can be incorporated into a 3-in-1 charging station for iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch, similar to the one featured in our review of the top MagSafe chargers. The system is also adaptable, with the option to add a detachable MagSafe-compatible power bank to the stand or take it with you on the go.

The keychain power bank with a capacity of 1000mAh can provide enough charge to sustain your Watch until you have access to a reliable power outlet. The bank has four power indicators to show the remaining battery level.

The color options vary depending on your location.

The power bank can be recharged using the included cable, although it may be difficult due to the outdated MicroUSB.
