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

My daughter was convinced that her Apple Watch would not rotate its display to make this hunk of plastic work as intended. Surprise, it did and she texted me an excited photo of the event. This is a nice way to store your apple watch while its charging. You stick your existing charger inside of the thing, slide your Apple Watch into a slot on the top, and youve got a cute little Apple Clock while your Watch charges. $10 well spent.

I really like this product and very satisfied that I bought this product. Its takes me back to the early days of the Macintosh computer. It looks great on my dresser while charging my watch. You wont be disappointed with the purchase.

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 the second time I bought this. Needed it for another location. Works great.

I’m obsessed with it

Gave it as a gif for a computers fan.

I bought one of these for my original Apple Watch and used it as my charging stand for that watch and a subsequent Series 2. Everything fit fine, and, if I had reviewed it, I would have given 5 stars. However, the 44mm Apple Watch face was large enough that the top of the battery charge indicator was invisible behind the top of the window frame. Unfortunately, you need to see the top of indicator to see if charging has been completed. The Amazon web page claimed that it was compatible with the Apple Watch 4, so I assumed that the window had been made slightly larger to accommodate the larger face on the 44mm Series 4. So I ordered a new stand for my new watch on 9/22. Unfortunately, as the supplier has confirmed on 9/24, there have been no changes. So I have now returned it. The Amazon should really have a note in the main listing about this problem. Edit (2018-10-12): The heading for the item now provides a caution for those with the larger watch by specifying Series 4 (40mm). However, the text does not clarify the problem why its not recommended for the larger watch. Also, some of the additional material does not qualify the Series 4 compatibility. So my rating is now 3.5 stars.

Overall, a fun/clever product, with a few caveats... Pros: * Quality materials * Good value (purchased from Amazon for $11) * Cute/clever/whimsical design Cons: * Apple watch fits a little too loose in the stand which causes a significant air gap between the front of the stand and the watch display, especially when viewed at an angle. * Occasionally loses charging connection to the back of the watch because of the same lose tolerances. * Charging puck sits a little too far inside the stand, contributing to the loose connection. It should be noted that Im using the stand with a 42mm Stainless Steel Apple watch series 1 with Stainless link bracelet/band, so the largest possible watch, and it still has a loose fit.

Looks great. I don’t have the cable just lying on the nightstand. Watch would fall many times with just the cable. Now its placed nicely and looks great!

Works well & cute. A good decision to buy it vs. other stands. Reliable enough. No obvious scratch so far on my watch. I like to use it. Can be fun because charging a watch can be a boring daily grind.
