Other products we considered

In trying to determine what we think are the best Apple Watch charging stations currently available, we spent hours testing and researching. We consider a number of factors when recommending chargers - and apply the same criteria when a new device is being considered for inclusion. Not everything is judged on our tests either - we also try to take into account consumer reviews, quality and brand value.

In all of our roundups, there are also many products we test that don't make the final cut. As they may be suitable for some people, we have listed them below.

How to choose an Apple Watch charging stand

Choosing a stand to charge your Apple Watch more easily or conveniently is a great way to make your life easier. Here are some questions to consider when shopping.

Want to charge other devices as well?

As you'll have noticed from our list, a big variable between the various stand options for the Apple Watch involves whether they can charge other devices. If you're an iPhone user (and you almost certainly are if you have an Apple Watch), you can charge your phone in the same place, while some mounts also have the ability to dock AirPods.

It's really convenient, but it will make the stand bigger on the surface you're using and make it harder to move the stand. We recommend that you only purchase a rack capable of loading items that you know you will use every day.

Will you be using the watch as a clock?

Another thing that changes between stands is how they organize your watch while it charges - some will keep things minimalist, while others will elevate the watch to allow you to use it as a bedside clock, for example. We're probably leaning towards smaller stands, but raised stands are also popular, so the choice is up to you.

Will you travel with your stand?

Finally, since your Apple Watch goes with you everywhere, you may want a stand that you can easily store and take with you when you travel or stay away from home. It's not something every stand can accommodate, but there are certainly options that fold up or are small enough to make packing easier.
