Apple ships its Watch Magnetic Fast Charger to USB-C Cable with its Watch Series 7 and later models, including the Watch Series 8/9/10/11, SE 3 and Watch Ultra. (Earlier Apple Watch SE models and Series 6 and earlier Watches shipped with the Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable that lacks the fast-charging function.)

Both charging cables are Apple white and a meter long. The latest version features an enhanced charging puck that also works with the case of the AirPods Pro 2 & 3 and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation.

The 7.5W Fast Charger Cable can charge 33% faster than the older 5W cable—charging a compatible Watch battery from 0-80% in just 45 minutes. An eight-minute charge will support eight hours of sleep tracking.

Without fast charge, it takes about 1.5 hours to charge an Apple Watch to 80%, and about 2.5 hours to 100%.

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.

While you can still buy the older Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable, there’s little benefit as the newer Magnetic Fast Charger to USB-C Cable is backwards compatible with older Watch models, looks the same, and is the same price. You can use the old cable on a later Watch but obviously without fast charging.

Apple’s official Watch Charger is fast and reliable but expensive compared to the knock-off Watch chargers you can find online. This is a shame as having a spare in your bag or lying around at home is useful given the Watch’s pretty dreadful battery life.

Usually there is a trusted third-party provider with an alternative to Apple’s simple charging cable but we could find none for the Apple Watch that were cheaper than the Apple version. We know that the Satechi USB-C Fast Charging Cable for Apple Watch is trustworthy as it’s from one of our favorite brands, but it’s actually pricier than the Apple—so why bother, unless you prefer the shorter cable?

There are some great third-party Apple Watch charging stands and adapters—many of which we review below.

But you are taking a chance (albeit a very affordable chance) by picking a cheapo simple Watch charger from Amazon, Temu or other online retailers. We bought one from Amazon that frayed its cable sitting in a bag for a few weeks. If you must, then scan the user reviews but we can’t vouch that the good ones are genuine and others often state problems with durability and extremely slow charging. You spent a bunch on your Apple Watch so why risk it going up in flames by saving a few bucks on a spare charger?

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• Size: 2 x 1.73 x 0.45 inches (5.1 x 4.4 x 1.1cm)
• Weight: 1.1oz (31g)
• Colors: Space Gray
• USB-C charger: Any USB-C charging port

Small enough to fit in your pocket, this little 5W Watch charger from Satechi can plug straight into a USB-C charger or a USB-C charging port—for example, the Thunderbolt on your MacBook or iPad, a USB-C car charger, or USB-C output power bank.

As we all know, it’s not only the Apple Watch with a weak battery. This portable Watch Charger can also be used to charge AirPods in a compatible case.

When you get an alert telling you that your Watch battery is fading, you don’t always have your meter-long Apple charging cable with you but you are likely nearer a USB-C power point, and this little Watch charger can live at the bottom of your backpack for when you need it most.

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• Size: 3.3 x 2.6 x 0.5 inches (8.5 x 6.4 x 1.2cm)
• Weight: 3.2oz (91g)
• Colors: Black
• USB-C charger: Not included (20W charger required)

The Nimble Watch charging stand can fast-charge the Watch (Series 7 and later), and weighing just 3.2oz (91g) is portable, too. It is made from sustainable plant-based aloe leather.

The magnetic charging module allows the Watch to be raised to work either lying flat or in Nightstand mode.

It ships with a separate 5-foot (1.5m) USB-C but requires a USB-C wall charger.

Belkin

An alternative is the larger (3.8 x 3.8 x 0.63 inches) and heavier (6.8oz) Belkin Boost Charge Pro Portable Fast Charger for Apple Watch, which is a long name for a fairly simple square, rubberized Apple Watch charging stand. It’s a little more expensive ($59.99), too, but it is available in white as well as black. Its built-in 4-foot (1.2m) USB-C cable wraps neatly around the underside of the dock, so keeping your space clutter-free. There’s a precision dial on the bottom of the dock to raise the puck height depending on the size of your Watch.

Alternatively, you can save money by buying one of the simple Apple Watch stands that require you to connect your Watch charging cable into the basic stand.

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• Size: 4 x 1.5 x 0.43 inches (10.2 x 3.8 x 1.1cm)
• Weight: 1oz (28g)
• Colors: Black, Red, Teal
• USB-C charger: Any USB-C charging port

Use it as your keychain or simply hang it in a purse or backpack, the simple Scosche WatchIt should be with you at your greatest time of Watch-charging need.

It’s simple to use once you find a USB-C port on a wall charger, your MacBook or even your iPhone (15 or later), you can lie your Watch on the pad and soon enough juice should be in your Watch so you won’t miss any of those precious active minutes.

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• iPhone charge: 15W (MagSafe)
• Size: 2.8 x 2.4 x 0.9 inches (7.1 x 6.1 x 2.35cm)
• Weight: 4.2oz (119g)
• Colors: Aluminum
• USB-C charger: 30W wall charger included

Twelve South has triumphed with this pocketable 2-in-1 charger that can handle iPhone and Apple Watch (or Watch and AirPods), charging the two devices simultaneously.

It is fully Apple certified, so fast wirelessly charges the Watch at 5W and the iPhone at 15W. The Watch can’t be charged faster, although you can find 25W wireless chargers for the iPhone.

But its wonder is its clever, dinky foldable size and MacBook-like styling. Unfurl the charger and the two wireless charging pads are revealed. You can even fold 180 degrees and place the Watch in Nightstand mode. Flip it round, and you can set the iPhone in landscape StandBy mode.

It chips with a super-compact 30W USB-C wall charger that comes with interchangeable international plug heads: US, UK, EU and AU/NZ.

The ButterFly is also our favorite Apple Watch travel charger, but it works back at base just as well.

Twelve South

You can buy a different (a little pricier at $99.99) version in six different colors—the Twelve South ButterFly SE uses Qi2 instead of MagSafe, so also charges at 15W, but doesn’t ship with a wall charger. Its not metal like the original Butterfly but at least with its color choices (Black, White, Pink, Coastal Blue, Iridescent, Midnight Plum) it resembles more a butterfly than a moth.

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• iPhone charge: 15W (Qi2)
• Size: 2.8 x 2.6 x 0.8 inches (7.1 x 6.6 x 2cm)
• Weight: 3.7oz (105g)
• Colors: Sandstone, Black
• USB-C charger: Not included (27W charger required)

Very similar to the Twelve South ButterFly, reviewed above, the Native Union Voyage is a touch larger but also a little lighter. In the same way, it’s a superb travel charger for iPhones after version 12 and Apple Watches. It can fast charge both as it uses 15W Qi2 for iPhone magnetic wireless charging (compared to the ButterFly’s 15W MagSafe but the same Qi2 standard as the ButterFly SE) and 5W for Apple Watch. AirPods can be charged on the Watch part depending on your charging needs.

It is so compact that it will easily fit in your pocket or get lost at the bottom of your backpack—the included pouch is handy in this regard, and something we hoped would be included with the ButterFly.

Like the ButterFly SE (but not the original ButterFly that ships with a 30W USB-C charger) it doesn’t come with a wall charger so you’ll need to add your own. And it is priced the same as the ButterFly SE.

It seems a shame to just compare this very neat 2-in-1 charger to the similar chargers that came before it. It does beat the Twelve South chargers in two respects. We think the Voyage will likely show less wear than the others as its silicone cover looks more hardy. And we like the fact you can just push out the Watch charging module from the back rather than risking your fingernail on the ButterFly’s notch.

Take a look at the Voyage and the ButterFly and ButterFly SE, and make your choice. You won’t be disappointed with any of these dinky and cleverly designed 2-in-1 chargers.

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• iPhone charge: 15W (MagSafe)
• Size: 4.1 x 3.1 x 2.75 inches (10.5 x 7.8 x 7cm)
• Weight: 15.9oz (540g)
• Colors: Gray
• USB-C charger: 30W wall charger included

The BoostCharge Pro looks rather like a paperweight and will delight interior designers.

Compact and low-level in an elegant organic shape, the bulb-like charging stand is made from at least 60% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic and has pleasingly soft edges and a texture that makes you stroke it longingly.

The chrome Watch-charging pad sticks out from the back of the stand, and can’t be folded in when not in use, as is possible with some compact multi-device chargers such as the Anker 3-in-1 Cube. 

It features fast wireless charging for both Watch and iPhone. While it lacks an AirPods charging module like the 3-in-1 charging stations reviewed here, you can charge the AirPods wireless charging case on the top when the charging pad is flat and not charging your iPhone.

Belkin offers two faster 2-in-1 iPhone/Watch chargers

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• iPhone charge: 25W (Qi2.2 25W)
• Size: Pad: 2.7 x 2.7 x 1.5 inches (6.7 x 6.7 x 3.8cm)
• Size: Stand: 4.4 x 2.7 x 4.2 inches (11.1 x 6.7 x 10.7cm)
• Weight: 6.5oz (185g)
• Colors: Black, Sand
• USB-C charger: 45W wall charger included

Belkin created not one but two UltraCharge Pro Convertible chargers; see also the review below. Both fold up to create a pocketable charging pad and can be unfolded to make a viewing stand. Only this version—they’re both called the same thing so bear with me—can charge iPhone and Watch when partially folded up.

While not as design-mag gorgeous as the BoostCharge Pro Charging Dock reviewed above, the super-portable UltraCharge Pro Convertible is a design marvel nonetheless.

Belkin designates its 15W iPhone chargers as “BoostCharge” and its 25W models as “UltraCharge”. Both will charge the Apple Watch at the same 5W but owners of the iPhone 16 and 17 series will cut 15 minutes off their charging time with the 25W variety.

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• iPhone charge: 25W (Qi2.2 25W)
• Size: Pad: 2.7 x 2.4 x 1.4 inches (6.9 x 6.3 x 3.7cm)
• Weight: 14.4oz (394g)
• Colors: Black, Sand
• USB-C charger: 45W wall charger included

It’s got the same name and near identical functions and technical specification as the Belkin UltraCharge Pro Convertible reviewed above, so the choice is all yours. This version is classier with its chrome bar and maybe that’s why Apple chose to sell this model in its Store.

As the Watch-charging module is folded away under the pad, you can’t charge your Watch while it’s in Pad mode as you can with its non-identical twin.

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• iPhone charge: n/a
• Size: 4.7 x 3.9 x 3.5 inches (12 x 10 x 9cm)
• Weight: 5.6oz (160g)
• Colors: Black & Gold, Black & Silver, White & Gold, White & Silver
• USB-C charger: Not included (20W charger required)

We list this elegant charging stand as a 2-in-1 because it can charge two types of Apple device: the Apple Watch and AirPods. However, you could argue that it’s a 3-in-1 as it has dual Watch charging pads for families or offices with more than one Apple wearable and can therefore charge two separate devices at the same time.

For such households this charger will help eliminate the need for messy individual charging cables.

• Watch fast charge: Yes (Qi2 25W)
• iPhone charge: 25W
• Size: 4.6 x 4.3 x 3.4 inches (11.7 x 10.9 x 8.6cm)
• Weight: 19.2oz (545g)
• Colors: Charcoal, Sand
• USB-C charger: 45W wall charger included

If you’ve got an Apple Watch, chances are you also own an iPhone and maybe a set of AirPods, too. Here’s where a charging station, which can power up all three devices simultaneously, becomes essential if you want to rid yourself of a snake’s nest of cables.

Previously, 3-in-1 chargers were limited to 15W wireless charging either via Apple’s MagSafe or Qi2. Apple’s own iPhone MagSafe Charger has alone been able to charge iPhone 16 and later at 25W. The new Qi2 25W standard, however, means you can get the fastest magnetic charging in a stand without needing to rig it with Apple’s charging puck. In our real-world tests using the iOS 26 beta on our iPhone 16 Pro, we saw actual charging times from 0 to 50 percent of 30-35 minutes, measurably faster than 15W MagSafe.

As with the 25W MagSafe, Qi2 25W requires at least an iPhone 16 running iOS 26 to hit the top wireless charging speed. It and this stand is backwards compatible with older iPhones going back to the iPhone 12 but is pegged back at Qi2’s older 15W limit for those iPhones.

Here we are just as interested in the UltraCharge Pro’s Apple Watch-charging prowess and this is as fast as it gets at 5W.

The base is wrapped in a beautifully soft-touch silicone, while the bar that holds the iPhone and Watch chargers look great in a shiny chrome finish. It’s not the highest stand, but the iPhone charging pad is highly adjustable— up to 70 degrees in portrait or landscape—so it can be angled as you desire.

• Watch fast charge: Yes (MagSafe)
• iPhone charge: 15W
• Size: 6.3 x 3.4 x 6 inches (15.9 x 8.5 x 15.4cm)
• Weight: 14oz (396g)
• Colors: Black
• USB-C charger: 40W wall charger included

The HiRise 3 Deluxe (available at Apple) can wirelessly charge three devices—iPhone 12/13/14/15/16/17 (but not SE), Apple Watch 7, 8, 9, SE and Ultra, and Apple AirPods (2nd and 3rd gen AirPods, and all AirPods Pro). The AirPods-charging Qi wireless pad can alternatively be used to charge any iPhone from iPhone 8 up.

The iPhone 15W, Watch 5W and Qi pad 7.5W charging points allow for fast charging, but that 15W iPhone charger is now bested by Qi2 25W chargers as found on the Belkin UltraCharge Pro 3-in-1 stand reviewed above.

The Watch can either lie flat or in Nightstand mode, and the iPhone in iOS 17’s StandBy mode. You can angle the iPhone by up to 35 degrees.

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• iPhone charge: 15W (MagSafe)
• Size: 6.7 x 5.3 x 3.4 inches (17 x 13.4 x 8.6cm)
• Weight: 11.5oz (325g)
• Colors: White
• USB-C charger: 30W wall charger included

If you own an Apple Watch it’s a fair bet that you also have an iPhone, and, go on admit it, some AirPods, too—you’re well invested into the Apple ecosystem.

This 3-in-1 charging station from Journey has a tiltable MagSafe-certified pad (15W) for all iPhones 12/13/14/15, plus a Qi charger for AirPods that have a wireless charging case.

Important to us here, though, is the Apple Watch charger at the back, which can fast-charge your Apple wearable.

The Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe, reviewed above, is similar and features a tiltable Watch charger at the front rather than the back. If you want a 3-in-1 fast charging stand in white, then pick this Journey stand or the OtterBox 3-in-1 reviewed below; if you prefer black, go for the Charcoal Belkin UltraCharge Pro.

There is a cheaper version, the Journey Trio 3-in-1 Charging Station, which features a handy detachable Watch charger that you can slip into your pocket and plug into a USB-C charger, including your MacBook, away from the base unit. While that is a neat feature (and might save you $40 on a standalone Watch adapter) the MagSafe pad is only compatible so charges the iPhone at 7.5W and the Watch charger is slower than the one featured on the Trio Ultra 3-in-1.

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• iPhone charge: 15W (Qi2)
• Size: 3.5 x 2.4 x 1 inches (8.9 x 6 x 2.5cm)
• Weight: 6.9oz (195g)
• Colors: White, Black
• USB-C charger: 40W wall charger included

The first 3-in-1 device charger based on the fast MagSafe-like 15W Qi2 magnetic wireless charging tech, the Anker MagGo 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station not only boosts wireless charging speeds that match Apple’s MagSafe but wraps up everything into a solid, foldable and compact yet flexible design. Apple Watch fast charging is the cream on the top.

Foldable and super compact, the Anler MagGo Wireless Charging Station is a great portable option for your travels. The Watch-charging module neatly folds into the base of the charging station. It’s just as great as a permanent charger at home.

We also like Anker’s 3-in-1 Cube, reviewed below—but while it’s gorgeous, it is heavier than the MagGo and doesn’t feature Watch fast charging.

If you can live without the MagSafe wireless charging iPhone stand element, we are rather in love with another Apple Watch charger from the same company, which is also a power bank: the Anker MagGo 10K Power Bank For Apple Watch, reviewed below in our Best Apple Watch Power Banks reviews.

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• iPhone charge: 15W (MagSafe)
• Size: 9.3 x 3.4 x 0.84 inches (23.7 x 8.6 x 2.1cm)
• Weight: 22.8oz (476g)
• Colors: White, Black
• USB-C charger: 20W wall charger included

Belkin’s Boost Up Charge Pro Wireless Charging Pad 3-in-1 charger (available at Apple) is the fastest way you can wirelessly charge both your Apple Watch and iPhone (12/13/14/15/16-series models), plus AirPods that come in a wireless charging case. It’s a flat pad so the iPhone charges lying down rather than visible as it would be on a stand.

It boasts both Watch fast charging (7.5W) and iPhone MagSafe fast charging (15W). The included 20W USB-C wall charger is a little underpowered if charging all three devices simultaneously. A 30W or 40W charger would better handle that situation.

The Watch can either lie flat or in Nightstand mode, but because the iPhone lies flat you can’t take advantage of iOS 17’s StandBy mode. The Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe, reviewed above, is a better option if you want to view your iPhone while it’s charging—and it also comes with a more powerful 40W power supply.

The magnetic charging module features a precision dial that can adjust the height for the best Watch, depending on the screen size.

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• iPhone charge: 15W (MagSafe)
• Size: 2.49 x 2.3 x 2.3 inches (6.3 x 6 x 6cm)
• Weight: 14.5oz (410g)
• Colors: Gray
• USB-C charger: 30W wall charger included

Charge your Apple Watch plus your other small Apple gadgets with this dinky (if weighty) designer 3-in-1 cube that is MagSafe certified so can wirelessly charge an iPhone at 15W.

Watch and AirPods charge at a more sedate 5W, so no Watch fast charge.

The beauty of this compact charger is its portable 3-in-1 power options, all contained in one tiny-footprint device. The Watch charging part can be hidden away within the Anker Cube when not in use.

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• iPhone charge: 15W (MagSafe)
• Size: 5.6 x 4.6 x 4.6 inches (13.9 x 11.7 x 11.7cm)
• Weight: 18.8oz (534g)
• Colors: Black or White
• USB-C charger: 36W wall charger included

Matching the Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe in terms of charging speed, the OtterBox 3-in-1 Charging Station is a super-fast iPhone/Watch/AirPods charger with a small footprint—indeed, it’s a little smaller than its rival.

The charging points for iPhone and Apple Watch are fully certified—iPhone 15W and Watch 5W. At 5W, the lower Qi pad is slower than the Twelve South.

We prefer the HiRise 3 Deluxe for its tilting iPhone MagSafe pad and more flexible Watch module. But if the white color option fits your decor better than the black-only HiRise, the OtterBox 3-in-1 is a great choice.

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• iPhone charge: 15W MagSafe
• Size: 2.4 x 2.4 x 0.9 inches (6 x 6 x 2.35cm) closed
• Weight: 4.2oz (119g)
• Colors: Aluminum; SE model in 6 colors
• USB-C charger: 30W wall charger included

This 2-in-1 Apple Watch and iPhone Charger already won our accolade for overall best 2-in-1 Apple Watch charger—see fuller review above—but is supreme here too as our favorite 2-in-1 Apple Watch travel charger.

It folds down into a beautiful and compact circular package that looks great on your nightstand at home or in your AirBnB or hotel. It’s my personal go-to Apple Watch charger at home and on my travels, although the Anker MagGo, reviewed below, may win when travelling given its simultaneous three-device wireless charging feats.

Also available is a 15W Qi2 version, the similarly priced Butterfly SE has a softer, non-metallic shell and is available in a wider range of six colors.

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• iPhone charge: 15W Qi2
• Size: 2.36 x 2.36 x 1.4 inches (6 x 6 x 3.6cm) closed
• Weight: 4.1oz (116g)
• Colors: Black, White, Pink, Green
• USB-C charger: 40W wall charger included

We have loved the Twelve South Butterfly and Butterfly SE for a long time, and then along comes the more snail-shaped Anker MagGo Folding 3-in-1. It’s harder to love on its looks with a bump on the top where the Watch charger lives, but we can admire its super-compact form that unfolded can charge three Apple devices at the same time.

You can unfold just the top Apple Watch charging pad or extend to expose all three charging pads. The pads are connected with a silicone strap, within which are unseen wires taking power from the USB-C port that is situated in the middle pad’s body. At the other end to the Watch charger is the Qi2 charging pad on which you magnetically clamp your iPhone for fast 15W wireless charging.

In the middle there’s 5W charger for the AirPods case. You can also use this Qi pad to charge another iPhone (from iPhone 8) although non-magnetically and much slower—but it’s fine if you have time on your side.

The iPhone mostly lays flat, but it can be placed into a more useful StandBy mode with some nifty folding. The Watch, however, always charges flat so no Nightstand mode is possible. The Twelve South ButterFly does win here as it can be folded 180 degrees to place the Watch in Nightstand mode.

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• iPhone charge: 25W (Qi 2.2)
• Size: 2.5 x 2.5 x 0.7 inches (6.4 x 6.4 x 1.8cm) folded
• Weight: 5.2oz (148g)
• Colors: Black, Gray, Wood Grain, Orange
• USB-C charger: 45W wall charger included

This fold-up metal 3-in-1 travel charger may not be as cute (or lightweight) as the Twelve South Butterfly models, Native Union Voyage or Anker MagGo, but it’s actually a little smaller when folded up and can charge an iPhone 16-17 at 25W compared to the others’ 15W. It’s also rather stunning in the orange color, and all models come in a neat carry case with your region’s USB-C charging plug.

Kuxiu also sells a slightly cheaper but larger 25W model: the X55 Turbo.

• Watch fast charge: No
• iPhone charge: 7.5W
• Size: 3.5 x 2.4 x 0.5 inches (9 x 6.2 x 1.3cm) folded
• Weight: 3oz (85g)
• Colors: Black
• USB-C charger: Not included (20W charger required)

A first glance at the negative aspects of this charger would suggest you steer well clear but this thing is so compact and lightweight it’s a compelling travel accessory—as long as you don’t need to charge your devices in the quickest possible time.

When I first picked up the Mous 3-In-1 Wireless Portable Charger I couldn’t believe just how light it is. In fact, I thought the box was empty! Out of the box, it weighs just 3oz (85g) and is pretty tiny too. It’s hard to believe that something so light and small—it’s about the length and width a standard playing card—can simultaneously charge an iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods case.

If you charge your Apple devices overnight, the slow charging speeds won’t matter. If you’re in a hurry, look elsewhere.

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• iPhone charge: 25W
• Size: 4.3 x 2.4 x 0.63 inches (11 x 6.2 x 1.6cm) closed
• Weight: 5.2oz (148g)
• Colors: Black
• USB-C charger: 50W wall charger included

iPhone charging stands are usually quite bulky given that they need to hold a vertical-oriented iPhone, but this small-footprint pocketable 3-in-1 Watch/iPhone/AirPods charger folds to a very compact and lightweight form factor. It’s not quite as small and lightweight as the Mous 3-in-1 Wireless Charger reviewed above but boy is it faster.

The phone charger is Qi2.2, so charges the iPhone 16 and 17 at 25W and older iPhones at 15W.

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• iPhone charge: 7.5W
• Size: 5.2-x-2.9-x-1 inches (13.3-x-7.4-x-2.5cm) closed
• Weight: 5.2oz (147g)
• Colors: White
• USB-C charger: Not included (20W charger required)

There are few foldable 3-in-1 iPhone/Watch/AirPods portable chargers on the market but we think this is one of the neatest. It’s a little larger than the Evolved Foldable Charger but noticeably lighter.

It measures 13.3-x-7.4-x-2.5cm when closed, and 2.1-x-7.4-x-1.3cm open. The Apple Watch charging module flips up so the Watch can be shown in Nightstand mode; it can also lie flat.

It is also the only one to offer fast charging for the Apple Watch. None of them offer 15W certified MagSafe charging for the phone—for that you’ll need a less flexible 3-in-1, of which we have reviewed several here.

Its design is neat because the MagSafe charging pad folds over and magnetically locks to the Watch module. if traveling with the SWIV, it’s just a matter of putting it in your bag, and you won’t notice it weighing down your luggage.

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• iPhone charge: 25W (Qi2.2 25W)
• Size: 2.97 x 3.15 x 1.5 inches (7.5 x 8 x 3.8cm) closed
• Weight: 9oz (254g)
• Colors: Black
• USB-C charger: 45W wall charger included

The cleverest design element in this versatile 3-in-1 charger is the Apple Watch charger that slides out from behind the iPhone charging pad and can sit vertically at 90 degrees or fully horizontally at 180 degrees.

It has the looks of a desktop charger but the portability of a travel charger. Its neat design is a pleasure to adjust, and the speed is as fast as you can get from a wireless iPhone/Watch/AirPods charger.

The closest rival to the PicoGo AF21 is Kuxiu’s X40 Turbo, a similar foldable 3-in-1 charger that also charges at 25W. The metal X40 Turbo is even smaller folded up at just 2.5 x 2.5 x 0.7 inches when folded up and weighs less too at 5.2oz, compared to the AF21’s 3 x 3.15 x 1.5 inches and 9oz weight. However, the PicoGo AF21 is more adjustable, especially the nifty Watch charger at the back. The X40’s design features a more traditional stand arrangement and is available in a wider choice of four colors.

• Watch fast charge: Yes
• iPhone charge: 30W Wired
• Colors: Black, White, Pink, Teal
• Dimensions: 3.7-x-2-x-1.3 inches (9.4-x-5.1-x-3.3cm)
• Weight: 8.6oz (245g)
• USB-C charger: Not included (30W charger required)

If you don’t need your power bank to double up an iPhone stand, this highly pocketable iPhone and Apple Watch battery pack is a great option to keep in your bag for those recharging emergencies.

The 5W Apple Watch charging module will fast-charge your Watch and is adjustable so allows for Nightstand mode.

It’s not a wireless charger for iPhone but with its own built-in USB-C cable you don’t need it and get 30W wired charging that is so much faster than 7.5W MagSafe compatible or even 15W MagSafe/Qi2 wireless. That cable can also be used to charge the power bank itself, and doubles up as a neat carry handle.

In our tests, an Apple Watch Series 10 was charged by 65% within 30 minutes. The iPhone 15 also charged quickly; we measured a 50% increase in 30 minutes.

We even gave our MacBook Air a boost using the power bank. The cute power display also showed that the Apple Watch Series 10 charged at times at 4W, the iPhone 15 at 23W and the MacBook at 29W.

Rubber feet protect the power bank and your table from scratches.

If you don’t need your power bank to double up an iPhone stand, this highly pocketable iPhone and Apple Watch battery pack is a great option to keep in your bag for those recharging emergencies.

The 5W Apple Watch charging module will fast-charge your Watch and is adjustable so allows for Nightstand mode.

This apparently nondescript power bank looks like a chunky iPhone power bank. But manipulate it like a Rubik’s Cube—it even clicks like one—and it transforms into an adaptable charger for iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods. It is available in two battery capacities—the familiar 5000mAh (5K) and 10000mAh (10K) varieties—and at two speeds: 15W K1 Pro and 25W K1 Ultra.

The back section can rotate up to 90 degrees, revealing a circular indent that will charge either an Apple Watch or wirelessly chargeable AirPods case. When the iPhone is charging in portrait orientation, the Watch drapes over the corner of the back section. When the iPhone is in landscape mode it hangs off the top corner.

In our tests, using an iPhone 15 Pro, the 10K power bank wirelessly charged close to 170%.

It boasts a back-stand so can be a regular magnetic iPhone charging stand at home as well as a powerful battery pack on the road when folded up.

The 5K Kuxiu K1 Pro has a list price of $99.99 / £76. The 10K K1 Pro is priced at $109.99 / £84. However, Kuxiu seems to have a permanent serious discount on its products. At the time of writing the 5K was priced at $56 / £43 and the 10K at $67 / £51. It is available in Black, Gray or Desert Titanium colors. The K1 Ultra (10K only) is priced at $99.99 / £76.

• Watch fast charge: No

• Colors: White, Gray
• Dimensions: 2.8 x 0.94 x H 4.7 inches (7 x 2.4 x 12cm)

This power bank is built for travel. It is compact like a standard wireless power bank, but from the back fold out an Apple Watch charging module and a Qi wireless base that can charge your AirPods and act as a kick stand if you want to see your iPhone while it’s in the charging saddle.

The 10K battery pack performed superbly: giving an iPhone 15 Pro nearly two full recharges – either at 7.5W wireless charging or 18W using a separate USB-C cable. It could comfortable recharge an Apple Watch over 10 times if that’s all you needed it for.

At 2W, however, the OneGo can’t fast-charge a Watch in comparison to the Anker MagGo reviewed above that boasts a 5W Watch charger. That Anker power bank is cute but it doesn’t work as a stand or wireless iPhone charger.

• Watch fast charge: No
• iPhone charge: 7.5W
• Colors: White
• Dimensions: 4.25-x-2.7-x-0.95 inches (10.8-x-6.8-x-2.4cm)

This is the smallest iPhone and Apple Watch charging stand that doubles up as a power bank. It’s a great portable solution when you are away from a power source, and it can charge not just your Apple Watch and iPhone simultaneously, but two more devices via its USB ports (one USB-C for fast 18W iPhone charging and one USB-A).

The Watch charging module flips up from the back of the power bank’s pull-out stand. It chargers at 3W rather than 5W so doesn’t support Apple Watch Fast Charge but it will inject the juice that your Watch requires when you need it. If you’re carrying your Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger to USB-C Cable, you can connect it here to achieve fast Watch charging.

In our tests, using an iPhone 15 Pro, the power bank wirelessly charged close to 150%.

Lamicall’s Apple Watch Stand is a super-affordable wired Watch-charging stand, available in four different colors.

Keep in mind that you will still need to use a separate charging cable as this is only a stand and won’t charge your Apple Watch on its own. 

It’s a nifty little bedside stand if you don’t want to splurge more than you need to.

This is a simple, secure stand that you slip your Apple charging cable into so that you can set your Watch in Nightstand mode by your bedside or at your desk if you prefer to charge during the day so that you can track your sleep at night.

Note that it’s just a stand so you still need the Apple charging cable. From Spigen.

Here’s one for the Apple enthusiasts that have been following the company since long before all this fancy touch-screen malarkey started, and when a watch told the time and nothing else. Elago’s cute W3 Stand (a.k.a. the Apple Watch Vintage Stand) turns your Apple Watch into a tiny original Macintosh while it’s charging.

It even sits at a slight angle to match the original Mac, and uses Nightstand mode to make sure the screen is aligned correctly.

• Watch fast charge: Yes, with Apple fast-charge cable
• Colors: Bondi Blue, Tangerine, Graphite, Ruby
• USB-C charger: Not included (20W charger required)

Another vintage Mac lookalike Apple Watch Charger is Spigen’s cute stand that mimics the original G3 iMac in Bondi Blue and some of the other early bright and bold colors.
