Your Apple Watch comes with a charger, but it’s nice to have an extra to keep in your bag. Whether you are always on the go or have a battery that seems to always end up dying, it’s good to have a charger on hand. If you have the right portable charger, you’ll never have to worry about running out of juice again. Here are some of the best travel Apple Watch chargers you can buy.
Top of the line:
The Apple MagSafe Duo charger
Staff Favorite
The cream of the crop is Apple’s own MagSafe Duo Charger. Charge up your Apple Watch Series 7 or any other model and your iPhone at the same time with this portable, fast charger. Note that a one-meter USB-C to Lightning cable is included, but the power adapter (wall charger) is not, so you’ll need to purchase that separately.
Ultra-portable:
Anker Portable Magnetic Charger for Apple Watch – Black
Plug this pocket-sized charger into any USB-C port or charging brick and charge up your Apple Watch. It’s just about the size of a key. Since it’s MFi-certified, you don’t have to worry about damaging your Apple Watch.
Double duty:
ElevationLab BatteryPro for iPhone & Apple Watch
The BatteryPro for iPhone & Apple Watch is a beautifully designed portable charger for your Apple Watch and iPhone. It’s no surprise that it’s a favorite around iMore. This portable battery is built to be small enough to carry comfortably in your back pocket, while a protective strap also keeps it secure while charging. You can pop it in your bag and easily charge on-the-go.
Just a case:
The HALLEAST Travel Case for Apple Watch Charger
The HALLEAST Apple Watch Charging Case is a protective and affordable Apple Watch case that’ll hold your Apple Watch and keep it safe during travel. It comes in a sleek black color and is designed with a carabiner, making it easy to clip onto your bag or backpack. Note that this is not a charger, it’s just a case, and you must insert the charging cable that came with your Apple Watch.
Charge all the wireless things:
mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger with MagSafe
Charge up your Apple Watch, AirPods (or other similarly-sized wireless-charging earbuds), and iPhone all at once with the mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger with MagSafe. We reviewed this incredible charger hands-on and were impressed by its fast charging capabilities. Everything you need is included: the charging cable, power adapter, and elegant carrying case.
Coolest:
Elago Stand for Apple Watch
This isn’t a charger; it’s actually a stand that makes your Apple Watch look like a tiny Mac screen. Use the Apple Watch charger that came with your Apple Watch; this adorable stand holds your Apple Watch securely in charging position. It’s just right for using Nightstand Mode.
Which of the best portable travel chargers should you choose?
If you have the funds, we’d recommend the Apple MagSafe Duo Charger because it’s fast, reliable, and portable. Be sure to pick up a portable adapter as well.
The extra-tiny Anker Portable Magnetic Charger for Apple Watch is a really portable charger and super easy to use. Just plug it into your MacBook/iPad’s USB-C port or any USB-C wall charger you have handy. 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.
If you want to charge your Apple Watch and iPhone with a single charger, we’ve got you covered there too with the best charging stands. 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.
