Apple today launched an official $79 charging dock for the Apple Watch, which functions both as a flat charging puck and in Nightstand mode — giving you the option of either charging your smartwatch in a flat position with the band open, or else on its side.

The Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Dock uses the same inductive charging connector that comes with Apple Watch, and connects via Lightning to USB Cable and Apple’s 5W USB Power Adapter. It comes packaged alongside a 2-meter Lightning to USB Cable.

As with other official Apple accessories, the $79 price tag means that this is far from the cheapest Apple Watch charging dock around, but it’s definitely an attractive one — and is available to order today, with the fastest shipping option meaning that you can have it in your possession by Friday.
