I’m still using this. I hope Apple comes out with something similar.
Me too. And I have to use it, because I need more than a 1m cable.
Got a tip for us?

Do we think something like this would work?

Doesn't solve the problem with the short cable. The best thing about the original Apple stand is that you can use any USB-to-Lightning cable.
You should be able to put the Watch in the seat pocket. If not, and you're so worried about theft, then just slide the charger between your wrist and watch when you sleep.
[Edit] Might not be enough for longer international trips, but do you put your Watch in airplane mode when flying? That helps a lot.
Ok I have a question I believe I know the answer but want to double check. There is no harm using an older non fast charge charger correct? I have the older Apple stand one that I have been using since Gen 1. If someone can humor me and confirm that would be great.
Yeah I hear ya but I don’t wear it to sleep and honestly wouldn’t want to so I’m fine with it charging overnight.
To be honest i doubt i use the cable that comes with series 7. I will just take the MagSafe duo with me in my bag when i need it.
I was watching reviews and what not. Seems the answer to this question is definitely no...but the S7 watch will NOT fast charge with the MagSage Duo, correct?
@iAdamator - that’s correct. The only way to fast charge the S7 is with the new “Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger to USB-C Cable (1 m)”:
The MagSafe Duo and the Apple Watch Dock will not fast charge the S7.

The MagSafe Duo and the Apple Watch Dock will not fast charge the S7.
Completely agree. I also have a Duo and am bummed.
Apple just published this:
”Fast charging requires an Apple USB-C Magnetic Fast Charging Cable.”

Oh no, that's not the Apple way. Get ready to replace your year-old USB-C Apple Watch charging cable if you want fast charging.
What about the Belkin Boost Charger 3 in 1? Is there a real confirmation that it will not work with the Series 7 fast Charge? Because it uses a 40 Watt adapter. In theory that is more than enough…
