5. BLOC Wireless Dock for Apple Watch

First in our list, here’s a wireless powerbank with 2000mAh lithium polymer battery that can offer up to four full charges for your Apple Watch. There is round cut-out for the magnetic charging cable in the center where you can place your watch for charging.

There’s a microUSB port and three LEDs at the back of the dock that indicate current charge level. It’s a nice one-piece dock however, you have to assemble your charging cable within the dock which is a bit of hassle so it’s better to keep a spare cable and devote one for the Bloc. Apart from wireless charging Bloc can also be used as a nightstand dock or paired with your Mac for charging.

Pros
Cons

6. NightStand for Apple Watch

If you have a really crowded desktop, Elevation Lab’s space-saving Nightstand is what you’ll need. Made out of a single seamless piece and super adhesive NanoPad bottom, it can be mounted on any surface, horizontally or vertically. Moreover, it comes with optional 3M adhesive pad the same that’s used with GoPro cameras.

The charging pad comes with FreePower® technology so you can put your device anywhere on the pad without having to find the right spot. The watch sits perfectly on the puck gives full charging within a few hours.

Pros
Cons

8. Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Dock

This is an official charging dock for your Apple Watch. Keeping up with Apple’s signature minimalistic design, this dock will give you a simple look (a bit too simple I’d say) and allows you to charge your watch both horizontally as well as in the Nightstand mode.

What I found most interesting is that the magnetic charging puck comes integrated into the dock and can be popped up to work with the Nightstand mode. Moreover, it comes with an extra-long lightning cable that you need to connect with a power block (not included in the box) to get it charging.

Pros
Cons

9. OLEBR 3 Apple Watch Stand

First in our list, here is a charging stand for simultaneous charging of multiple Apple devices – Apple Watch, iPhone, Airpods. It comes with two lightning cable cables to charge iPhone and Airpods, however, the magnetic charging cable for Apple Watch is not included.

The OLEBR stand is a great bedside charging station for overnight charging your Apple devices. It has a sturdy base that doesn’t slide around or tip over. Also, the Apple Watch charging puck fits nicely into the cut-out and you can charge your watch in the Nightstand mode.

Pros
Cons

10. Belkin Watch Valet

As Apple allowed accessory makers to create docks with integrated Apple Watch magnetic charger, Belkin became the first one to avail this opportunity and produced Watch Valet. It is an elegantly designed dock with premium finishing. The built-in charger is tilted to displays your watch at an optimal viewing angle and you can easily slide your watch on and off the charging connector.

The suitably heavy base of this dock has been given a typical Apple-like finish along with chrome finish solid metal arm. its most interesting aspect, however, is the removable wrist band that can be used to give extra support to your watch while charging (specifically in case of heavier watch bands).

Pros
Cons

11. Mangotek Apple Watch Charging Stand

Quite similar to the Belkin Watch Valet in looks and features, Mangotek Apple Watch Charging Stand comes with integrated MFi certified Apple Watch charger. The charger has a nice design with elevated arm and a nicely weighted base.

This charging stand offers a lot of cool features but I think for such a hefty price tag they could have added a wireless charging pad to the base, however, it does come with an intelligent 2.1A USB port to charge your Apple Watch and other devices simultaneously.

Pros
Cons

12. elago W Charging Stand

elago W Charging Stand is a cylindrical Apple Watch Charging stand made with solid aluminum and grippy silicone top and bottom. The stand allows you to charge your Apple Watch anywhere and even fits conveniently in your car’s cupholder.

A beautiful and multi-functional charging dock plus watch strap holder, Anden Watch Valet is hand-made with different fisnishes of wood or Corian®. Each piece is carefully crafted by master cabinet maker Gavin Coyle from wood that comes from sustainable sources and finished with natural oils.

The best thing about Anden Watch Valet is that it has four grooves to store your spare Apple Watch bands. It doesn’t come with a built-in charger and you set your own cable’s charging puck in the precision-cut opening. The dock is pre-ordered in the finishing of your choice and it takes a couple of weeks in completion and shipping.

Cons

16. Wireless Charging Pad

Wireless Charging Pad is a dual charging unit that can charge your Apple Watch and one qi-enabled device at the same time. You can attach your watch with a vertical charging puck and place your iPhone/ Samsung Galaxy phone or tablet on the charging bed.

The charging pad is convenient and light-weight to be easily carried in a bag. There’s however, no USB adapter included and it’s recommended that you don’t use Apple original adapter with it. Instead, a QC2.0 and QC3.0 charger adapter would be suitable for fast charging.

The tiniest and most portable charger in our list, the I.VALUX Watch Charger is small enough to fit on a keychain and weights only 33g (almost weightless). You can easily attach it to a wall adapter, Apple charging cube or your laptop’s USB port and it’ll fully charge your watch within 2 hours.

The thing I loved about this tiny charger is that it has lanyard design so you can hang it on your bag. The outer shell is made of PC+ABS material along with multiple protections against over-heating, voltage, and short circuit. Additionally, there’s an anti-slip component to keep your watch in place when charging in the Nightstand mode.

The stand comes with built-in smart chips so each port automatically detects your device and delivers fastest charge as required. It charges your Apple Watch in the Nightstand mode and has a blue LED light that lights up to show that it’s connected, though some people find its brightness a bit annoying.

Cons

This tiny portable charger is Apple-certified and has really small LED power indicator lights. The best part is their offer that lands you a nice USB cable along with the charger.
