A dock for iPhone and Apple Watch, a useful Christmas gift

Christmas has arrived, the time of gifts. We are faced with two alternatives, the capricious gift and the useful gift. Today we are going to sit a little on what is called "useful gift." And is that any user who has an Apple Watch and an iPhone encounters a daily war on the nightstand. We start from the basis that the Apple Watch does not include a charger with the device, only the cable, which leads us to have a logistical problem in the charging area. We are going to solve the mess of cables with a dock for the iPhone and the Apple Watch in the cheapest way possible thanks to this alternative from Vtin.

This stand that we can see in the photographs is made of aluminum, a material similar to that of the iPhone or Apple Watch Sport, with the exception that it is not so soft. Another relevant aspect is the rubber coating, Aluminum can cause scratches on our devices and that is not by far what we want, that is why they have seen fit to coat the parts that come into contact with our iPhone and Apple Watch with a really soft and pleasant silicone, which will also help us when it comes to cleaning it and preventing marks.

Another important aspect is that the space where we will place the Apple Watch not only has this protective rubber, but it is also high so that we do not have problems when putting the iPhone, also like this we will be able to take a look at the Apple Watch in bedside mode while we sleep, we can use it as an alarm clock. Finally, we are going to review that this product, although it may not seem so, is modular, by this we mean that we can separate the side arm where we place the Apple Watch and thus only use the stand for the iPhone.

Not only will we be able to support the Apple Watch, and we are waiting for the arm of the Apple Watch, we will be able to take advantage of the large stand to even support an iPad, tested. Once we introduce the arm of the Apple Watch, it has two "silicone plugs" for Don't let the dock move one iota. We have been checking the stability and neither the iPhone nor the iPad is slipping in the slightest In the large booth, not even the Apple Watch is in danger of falling, the magnet of the official Apple Watch charger is powerful enough to maintain the stability of the watch, we have tested the dock with a metal strap that increases the weight of the watch considerably and it remains stable at height without suffering any type of disturbance.

Characteristic product details

This stand weighs 220g, quite light, however, it holds up well when we detach the Apple Watch, it will not lift or drag it, since At the base it has small rubber bands that provide resistance without damaging the table. In the iPhone section, it should be noted that it does not have space for the cable, so we can only charge it horizontally, not vertically, which we can only put it when it is not connected to the current. As for the Apple Watch, it does have a hole for us to insert the cable and it enters under pressure between the silicone and the intended space, that way it will not move an iota and the cables will be correctly collected without causing tangles.

It is a fairly simple support, by this we mean that it is not the one that offers the most design, however, due to its price, it complies with the functionalities that can be expected from it. Taking advantage of Amazon's flash offers you can do with it just for € 13,99, although its current price is somewhat higher, € 17,99 due to the strong demand on these dates. I recommend you wait for the price to drop again, although a dock with these characteristics or a little more complete will not drop below € 35. We hope you have found our advice to choose a good, beautiful and cheap stand. Later we will offer a more complete and obviously more expensive alternative.
