Guys - what do you recommend for a magsafe charger to charge both apple watch and phone?

Thanks
 
Thanks. If there's anybody else who has a dual charger used for 2-3 months and it's performed well, your opinion would be appreciated
 
I received the charger today. I’m actually pretty impressed!

The box included the charger and a usb-A to Usb-c cabel.

I tested it out as scientific as one possibly could with a three year old and a one year old screaming at me. I connected the charger with the included cable to an Anker powerport in the 15W USB-A socket.

I put both my iphone 12 mini and my apple watch series 7 on at the same time. The phone got the magsafe animation. The phones battery was at 66% and the watch was at 70%. Fifty minutes later the phone was at 97% and the watch was fully charged. I have no way of measuring output but maybe someone could do the math. Lets see how it will behave in a few months!

I am using Apple’s MagSafe Duo with their 30W charger. I too have a series 7 watch. I charge overnight. I prefer OEM.

I hope Apple will release a revised MagSafe Duo that can fast charge. For me, a puck that flips up is critical. Otherwise the Milanese loop is awkward when charging the watch. I am aware there are cheaper alternatives, but I prefer Apple.
