The perfect portable charger
Whichever Apple Watch charger you choose, always check to be sure that it's MFi-certified. For a product to earn MFi certification, it must pass compliance and safety tests. The company must also pay Apple royalties to put this certification on their products.
Our overall favorite is the LXORY Apple Watch Charger and Stand. It's MFi-certified, so you don't need to worry about damage to your Apple Watch. Since the charging disk portion pops up, you have the option of using Nightstand Mode.
The extra-tiny MOFUU Wireless Charger Keychain is a really portable charger, and super easy to use, especially when it's on your keychain. The secure magnet makes sure that your Apple Watch won't slip off and break during your adventures far and wide. It's also MFi-certified.
Any of the chargers on this list are great for charging the Apple Watch alone. If you want to charge your Apple Watch and iPhone with a single charger, we've got you covered.
