Description
This magnetic watch charger is a 1 metre metal alloy charging cable that uses magnetic inductive charging, with temperature, over-current and over-voltage protection built in, and brings a watch from flat to full in about 2 to 3 hours, for $21.99.
Smart watch chargers are the accessory people lose most often, because there is exactly one in the box and it lives wherever it was last used. A second cable is what stops the routine breaking: one at home, one in a bag or at the office, and the watch never spends a day flat because the charger was on the other side of town. Because it is magnetic there is nothing to plug in, so it works in the dark on a bedside table.

Why Have a Second Charger
-
Three-way protection circuit - temperature, over-current and over-voltage protection is what separates a safe third-party cable from a cheap one, and it is the spec worth checking.
-
Magnetic, not plugged - the watch snaps into place in the dark without you finding a port, which is the whole reason these are used bedside.
-
1 metre of cable - long enough to reach a bedside table from a wall socket, which the short cables in most boxes are not.
-
2 to 3 hour full charge - overnight is more than enough, and a quick-charge adapter shortens it further.
-
Ultra slim and light - it coils into a bag or a drawer, so the second one actually travels rather than staying home.
Which Watches Does This Charger Fit?
It is a third-party magnetic charging cable compatible with Apple Watch Series 1, 2, 3 and 4. It is not made by, endorsed by or affiliated with Apple Inc., and Apple Watch is a trademark of Apple Inc. Check your own watch model before ordering, because magnetic charging pucks differ between manufacturers and between generations.
How Long Does a Full Charge Take?
Around 2 to 3 hours from empty to 100 per cent. Using a quick-charge capable adapter at the wall end can shorten that. Charging speed always depends on the adapter you plug into as well as the cable itself.
Is a Third-Party Charger Safe?
The thing that makes a charging cable safe is its protection circuitry, and this one specifies temperature protection, over-current protection and over-voltage protection. Those three together are what prevent the failure modes people worry about. As with any charger, stop using it if the cable is damaged, do not charge on soft bedding where heat cannot escape, and use a reputable wall adapter.
Who Buys These
People who want a second charger so one can live in a bag, a car or a desk drawer. Anyone who has lost the original and does not want to pay first-party replacement pricing. Households with more than one watch sharing a single cable. It is also bought as a travel spare, because leaving a charger in a hotel is one of the most common ways these disappear.
Pair It With
Charging gear is usually bought together. Our Tech & Mobile Accessories range covers the cables, adapters and phone accessories, and Automotive has the car chargers if this one is heading into a vehicle.
