On Thursday, accessories maker Belkin introduced its new Boost Charge Pro Portable Fast Charger for Apple Watch, one of the first third-party releases to support the fast charging speeds of the Apple Watch 7.
The new charger came out in tandem with the new Boost Charge Pro 3-in-1 Charger, which also supports Apple’s faster charging speeds for Apple Watch 7. And that charger can juice up an iPhone and AirPods at the same time.

Built with a new magnetic fast-charging module and integrated USB-C cable, the charger powers up Apple Watch Series 7 from 0 to 80% in about 45 minutes, which is up to 33% faster than Series 6 can charge, Belkin said.
The charger displays and charges Apple Watch Series 7 in a flat or vertical orientation for nightstand mode. It’s designed to be compact and easily portable. You can simply raise the charging puck up (vertical) or push down into the base (flat), charging in either position.
The device includes an integrated 1.2-meter USB-C cable with intuitive cable management. The adjustable module accommodates any Apple Watch case size. But you’ll have to provide your own USB-C compliant power adapter (sold separately).
