The best charging stations with a smartwatch zone

The Canyon charger has an optimal balance of cost, functionality and pleasant appearance. This is a small station, made in a classic white color, the highlight of which is the backlight strip running along the base of the body. It not only dilutes the minimalist design, but also signals the operating status of the device. The design of the device includes a stand for placing your smartphone, thanks to which you can continue watching videos or any other content on the screen while charging the phone.

The docking station consists of three zones and is capable of simultaneously charging up to three devices. The smartphone is equipped with the aforementioned stand, which makes it possible to install it in any position - horizontally or vertically. You can hang a smart watch on the holder, and place wireless headphones below. But keep in mind that they are not charged wirelessly, but through a double connector that is suitable for both Lightning and MicroUSB. The model is compatible with all devices that support Qi wireless charging technology, including smartphones, watches and Apple headphones. The charging distance reaches 7 mm, which means there is no need to remove covers from gadgets before use. The maximum charging power is 15 W, and the station itself is powered via a USB C port. A 1.2-meter cable is included in the package, but an adapter for an outlet is not included in the set.

Inside, the Canyon CNS-WCS302 is equipped with a smart Nuvoton chipset that is responsible for safe and efficient charging and eliminates the risk of damage to devices due to high power and overheating.

The main advantages of the Acefast brand charging station are its affordable price and thoughtful design. The manufacturer has compactly placed three zones for devices: in front there is an area for a smartphone, in the back there is a holder for smart watches, and under it there is a place for wireless headphones. As a result, the docking station does not take up much space: its dimensions are 123x72x124 mm, and its weight is just over 180 g. It is also convenient that the platform for the phone is located at an angle of 60 degrees and acts as a stand. While charging, the gadget is securely fixed and can continue to work - for example, if you are watching a movie or other video. In addition, the stand allows you to place your smartphone horizontally and vertically, and also charges it even through a case(up to 6 mm thick).

The charger is suitable for electronics from any manufacturer that supports wireless charging technology. Moreover, each zone has its own power. The smartphone zone produces a maximum of 15 W, which in the era of high-speed charging with a power of more than 100 W looks rather modest, but is a good indicator for wireless charging stations. Charging power for headphones is limited to 5 W, and smart watches charge at 2.5 W.

Safety is ensured by a built-in chip that controls the charging process, protecting devices from excess voltage and current, overcharging, overheating and short circuit. The case is equipped with a small indicator that indicates the operating status.

Thus, Acefast E15 15W is a compact assistant for charging basic gadgets, without a bunch of different wires. The package includes one necessary cable to power the station itself. But you will have to look for the network adapter in your supplies or buy it separately.

The MagSafe Duo Charger is designed to wirelessly refuel your smartphone and Apple smartwatch in one sitting. It can also charge the case for Apple AirPods and other compatible gadgets that support the Qi standard.

When folded, the model looks like a miniature powder compact from a woman's handbag. The ins and outs of the charging station become visible when the case is unfolded: on one half of the device there is a large MagSafe circle, and on the other there is a round charging platform that can be installed both horizontally and vertically. The Apple Watch can be paired with the smaller round one.

The charger comes with just one Lightninig cable. The power adapter for it must be purchased separately. Moreover, with standard 20 W iPhone units, the user can count on an output charging power of only 11 W. A maximum of 14 W can be squeezed out of the device when using an adapter with a power of 27 W or higher.

The problem of many original Apple accessories did not bypass the model in question. A stone for her garden is expensive and this is the most significant obstacle to purchasing a two-seater charging station. The Apple MagSafe Duo Charger cannot be called an essential item, but for a person who already has an iPhone and Apple Watch, the device would be perfect as a chic gift.

The proprietary charging station will be a good addition to Samsung gadgets, although it is also compatible with other smartphones that support wireless charging, including Apple models. The device has a minimalist design and, due to the absence of protruding parts, takes up minimal space: the charging dimensions are 156x91x16 mm and the weight is only 170 g.

The model has two zones, that is, it can charge up to two devices at the same time. There is an area for a smartphone on the left, and a smartwatch on the right. But there is no specific place for wireless headphones - they can be charged on any half. The maximum charging power reaches 15 W, which means, on average, it will take about two hours to fully restore the phone’s energy. To prevent overheating, the device is equipped with a cooling system. This is a built-in fan that makes a quiet noise during operation. If the sounds of the fan interfere with sleep and rest, you can turn it off by deactivating the high-speed wireless charging option on your smartphone.

The status of the work is indicated by a multi-colored LED indicator: the red indicator lights up during the process, and the green light turns on when completed. The big plus is that the model includes not only a cable, but also a 25 W mains charger (adapter) - this is the minimum necessary power for the station to fully operate.

Belkin has earned a reputation as a specialist in producing various accessories for gadgets, primarily for Apple devices. Therefore, its charging station is of good quality, but at the same time not cheap. The model consists of three zones for charging Apple electronics: smartphone, watch and headphones. It has an oblong rectangular shape and a flat design, which will be convenient when placed on low shelves. In addition, the charger does not take up much space and can accompany you on trips and travels.

At the same time, the smartwatch module slides up for use in Nightstand mode. This means you'll see the clock screen and can check the time at night or turn off the alarm in the morning. Perhaps the only nuance of the station is the presence of a proprietary charger connection port. Fortunately, the power supply is included in the package, but if necessary, you cannot replace it with a standard adapter and USB C cable.

Each separate zone is designed to charge a specific device. The panel with official MagSafe technology provides 15W charging for iPhones starting from the 12th generation.

The phone is securely fixed using magnets, if necessary, it is aligned to the required place, and does not move or slide. It can be charged directly in the MagSafe case, as long as it's not too thick. In the middle there is a platform for AirPods wireless headphones, and a small indicator light indicates that they are correctly placed and charging. The smartwatch area features a new magnetic fast charging module that works fully with Apple Watch Series 7 and later, as well as all generations of Apple Watch Ultra. Thanks to this, the battery is charged from 0 to 80% in approximately 45 minutes. Of course, you can use other watch models, but they will charge more slowly.
