Full power

Nomad Base Station Apple Watch Edition

Very much like Nomad's original Base Station, with one key difference: this model has a built-in Apple Watch charger.

If you want our recommendation

These are all great wireless chargers that fit a variety of needs, but which all help make your life just a little bit easier. It might seem like a little thing, but there's something great about being able to just pick up your iPhone off of a charging pad and go and put it back there when you return. Having used it for almost a year, I'm personally very fond of the Mophie Wireless Charge Pad, which is easy to use and keeps my iPhone secure in its place.

If you want something inexpensive and easy, go for the Anker PowerWave 10W Pad. At that price point, you can keep a few in different areas of the home or office.
