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

• Wireless charging for on the go usage.
• Dock and portable battery in one.

Cons

Moreover, it comes with optional 3M adhesive pad the same that’s used with GoPro cameras.

It is pretty easy to install your magnetic charging cable into the NightStand’s silicon body. The dock has been specifically designed to make good use of Apple Watch’s Nightstand mode however, you can also mount it vertically on a flat surface and charge your watch in this orientation.

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

• Built-in charging puck.

10. Belkin Watch Valet

• Colors: White/silver.

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).

Cons

• Premium price.
• Performance issues may appear after few months of use.

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.
