elago W3 Stand Compatible with Apple Watch Series 8/SE2/7/6/SE/5/4/3/2/1 (45mm, 44mm, 42mm, 41mm, 40mm, 38mm) (Classic White) - Classic Monitor Design, Compatible with Nightstand Mode

Gave this to my 12 year old granddaughter for Christmas. She loved it and so did her parents. It is cute and easy to use. There were no directions for its use with it which would have been a problem for me. However her father figured it out quickly and showed her. I bought it as a sort of stocking stuffer because I thought it was cute and the price was right. It turned out to be one of her favorite gifts.

If you are a Mac-geek, this charging stand is terrific! If you KNOW a Mac-geek this is the prefect gift. It is made of solid silicone and the shape is a super-accurate model of the original Apple 128K computer. The floppy drive slot is there and even includes the tiny hole that was used to eject disks. The charging cable with its magnetic disc that came with your watch fits inside. When the Apple Watch is on its side, it automatically goes into the Nightstand Mode meaning that the time shows for about 5 seconds if the watch is touched or if the nightstand is tapped. Having it show on the Macs screen is nostalgically cool. Heres the bonus feature - the Apple Watch slips behind the screen so it is held securely and wont dislodge if the nightstand is bumped. Ive lost contact using other stands resulting in an uncharged watch the next morning.

This is one of the things I truly love and appreciate daily. Unlike things you buy and use every now and then or things you use daily but arent quite perfect: this is perfect for daily use and it has that cute vintage look. The soft silicone wont ever scratch my AppleWatch and holds it in nightstand mode position. I never have to fidget with getting the watch in or getting it to stay in the right place. Because its one piece of molded silicone, it stays where I put it on my bed table nicely. It doesnt scratch the finish of the bed table, either. It doesnt matter what band is on my AppleWatch, this just works. It is simple and useful. So few things are. I just saw this on my bed table and having used it daily for months it struck me just how much I appreciate it and I wanted to write a review. I dont know how you could waste money on this unless you dont have an AppleWatch.

It’s a very convenient way to charge the watch.

Sometimes I think that the cuteness of this charging stand (that it looks like an original Mac) works against it. The bottom line is that this is the easiest, least fiddly, way to charge the Apple Watch. With one hand, you can simply slip the watch into the slot and it aligns perfectly for charging, even with a fastened watch band. As a bonus, if you use this on your nightstand, gently tapping no the nightstand anywhere turns on the display for a few seconds. My wife and I own two of these each. We use them on our nightstand and on our work desks.
