If there's one shortcoming of the Apple Watch, it's that it still requires regular charging (even if its stamina is much improved). That means you'll want somewhere to neatly stow it away overnight.
What's more, if you have an Apple Watch, you definitely have an iPhone. That means you have two devices that you need to charge every night. And that means you need two wall outlets and two different chargers. A big hassle, especially now that the AirPower is done for.
Read this: The best Apple Watch straps
Instead of dealing with unsightly Apple Watch charging, read on for our pick of the best Apple Watch charging stands, with many that provide a home for your iPhone, too. Clutter be gone.
Belkin Valet Charge Dock
Buy now: Amazon |
The gold standard of dual Apple product chargers, the Belkin Valet features an integrated Lightning cable and integrated Apple Watch wireless charger. That Apple Watch charger is also magnetic, just like the regular Apple Watch charger, so it'll just snap into place.
On top of that, it's also an elegant looking stand that will look the part on your nightstand – especially as it comes in black, rose gold and silver.
Belkin Powerhouse
Buy now: Amazon |
That's right, Belkin has a slightly cheaper dual dock for you to consider too. This one is a better fit for those of us who love to rock cases. There's an adjustable dial hidden in the back that will move the Lighting charger forward and backward to make space for said case.
JOYEKY 3-in-1 Charging Stand
Buy now: Amazon | $24.82
If you're fully immersed in the Apple world of wearables, you'll want somewhere to charge your AirPods as well. Enter this neat charging stand from JOYEKY.
Not only will it wirelessly charge your Apple Watch and iPhone, there's a dedicated Lightning port to hold up your AirPods' charging case. Just grab everything you need for your day in one fell swoop, charged and ready.
If you have a QC 2.0 or 3.0 charger, this charging stand also supports quick charging. No more waiting around ages for your gadgets to charge up.
Pad & Quill Timber Catchall
Buy now: padandquill.com | $49.95
Pad & Quill is known for its high-quality wooden Apple Watch stands, but if you want something that throws in your iPhone the Timber Catchall is a beautiful option. It contains a nice little cutout for your iPhone, and it's big enough for your iPhone XS. The big drawback here is that you still do need two cables, but at least they'll be organised.
TwelveSouth HiRise Duet
Buy now: Amazon |
Sure, stands that charge your iPhone and Apple Watch at the same time are handy, but they also take a good amount of space. If that's at a premium on your nightstand, TwelveSouth's HiRise Duet will save you a ton of it. It'll keep your iPhone up high, while charging your Apple Watch down near the bottom. TwelveSouth also claims that the HiRise Duet will charge your devices 15% faster than a regular old charger.
Griffin WatchStand
Buy now: Amazon |
Griffin's WatchStand takes a bit of a different tack. It connects to a wall outlet, then has two USB ports underneath. You plug your Apple Watch and Lighting cables down under there, wrap them around and plug them into your iPhone and Apple Watch. It's a little more work than other stands, but it also comes with a nice soft spot for you to rest your iPhone on.
Mercase Apple Watch and iPhone stand
Buy now: Amazon |
If you're looking for something a little more affordable, Mercase's dual stand is a good option. It's not as advanced as the others here, and it merely puts your iPhone and Apple Watch in the same general space, but it works. Just to be clear, though: you will need two different cables here, as the Mercase is simply a stand.
Spigen S350
Buy Now: Amazon |
Wareable
A cheap and cheerful option if you want something that doesn't take up much space on the bedside table. Simply use the included Apple Watch magnetic charger and this little stand will prop your Apple Watch up at a more viewable angle.
The Spigen S360 will happily work with any Apple Watch model, regardless of size or generation.
Anden Domino
Buy now: madebyanden.com | From
Few Apple Watch charging stands look as good as Anden's and with the new Domino, things only get more luxurious.
The minimalist setup is available with either a raw brass or aluminium base that holds in place the charging puck made from solid cherry or walnut to keep your Watch in charging position.
The timber used to construct it has been sustainably sourced and hand finished with natural oils and comes in eco friendly packaging. If you want your premium smartwatch to have an equally premium home when it's not on your wrist, this is one to check out.
