The Satechi USB-C Magnetic Charging Dock for Apple Watch offers a USB-C connector that enables it to plug directly into MacBooks and iPad Pros. It’s also designed to be used on the go.

Of course, this is possible to plug other chargers that use the USB-A standard into a laptop or tablet via adapters and/or cables, but Satechi’s simplifies the connection. It’s the closest we can get to having an Apple Watch charger built into a MacBook or iPad, something Apple has considered.

This charger comes with a USB-C male-to-female cable for when that makes charging easier.

Satechi USB-C Magnetic Charging Dock works with any Apple Watch

This just-released Charging Dock is compatible with all Apple Watch sizes, and puts out 5W of wireless power.

Satechi’s designers went for a compact, highly-portable design. The accessory comes in a Space Gray aluminum finish to match a MacBook or iPad.

The Satechi USB-C Magnetic Charging Dock debuted today. It’s available now for $44.99. That said, this company offers customers 20% off the product using the code “GIFTSATECHI” at checkout from its website.
