7 stellar Apple Watch charging stands for under $30

Your new Apple Watch deserves more than to be slapped on top of its included charging cable every night. Treat yours to an actual charging stand without breaking the bank and give it a better place to rest.

Here are seven stellar options for under $30.

Just Mobile HoverDock

The HoverDock is one of the prettiest Apple Watch charging stands money can buy. Made out of cool aluminum, it looks like it could cost a pretty penny, but you can order one today for under $20!

The HoverDock holds Apple Watch in Nightstand mode so you can see the time with a tap. Pull it apart and you’ll find space inside for your charging cable, so any excess isn’t left out to make a mess.

The stand has a soft-touch base that prevents it from sliding about on your nightstand. And it looks terrific no matter where you put it.

Elago 3-in-1 Charging Hub

If you also own a pair or AirPods, how about Elago’s excellent 3-in-1 charging hub? It tops-up iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously — and looks good while it’s doing it.

The hub is made entirely out of silicone, so it’s virtually unbreakable. You don’t have to worry about it getting knocked over, and you can take it anywhere without fear of it getting crushed in your bag.

The HEDock is made entirely out of high-grade aluminum, and it costs just $15. It looks good no matter where you put it, and it’s crafted to securely hold onto your Watch without falling over.

Its compact, minimalist design means the HEDock will fit anywhere, whether you plan to stick it by your bed or on your desk. And its brushed finish complements other Apple products beautifully.

Elago Retro Stands

Elago’s spectacular Apple Watch charging stands are my favorite products on this list. And if you’re fan of anything Apple (or retro gaming), I know they’ll love them, too.

The stands come in a number of outstanding designs inspired by the original Macintosh, the iconic iMac G3, early iPods, and the very first Game Boy. And they come in a number of eye-catching colors.

They’re also surprisingly affordable, with prices starting at just $13. The only problem you’ll have is choosing between them because they’re all so wonderful.

Not Durable

5 months. That’s about how long this watch band lasted before the silicone became ripped and started coming off. The lesson here is that if your work, hobbies or pastime activities involve anything more severe than sitting in front of a computer keyboard then you should pass on this watch band. The silicone covering over the metal band is very thin and does not seem to be very durable. Too bad because it is comfortable and easy to put on. Of course, easy to put on means that you need to be careful because if the magnetic band catches on something at the very end it can peel back the magnetic connection and the watch falls off without you even noticing it.

Never Received Product, Ghosted by Support

Ordered this case a month and a half ago, was charged, never received tracking information. When I reached out to their support email, crickets. Asked for tracking, crickets. Still no product, still no response. Will never purchase from Cult of Mac again.

Juuk Ligero Rainbow Apple Watch Band:

Never received this item. I suspect a scam.

Nothing but a shame calling yourself a store that steals and ceases delivery

I paid for this item 40 days ago on September 17. Up until this day I have never received the item. Emails, constant phone calls, voicemails and absolutely every means to get your attention that this item has still not arrived. Ignoring my requests for a refund goes on and on.
