So, I have many places in house where Lightning cables are just available for an iPhone or iPad to plug in. The same goes for the office. However, every time I want to charge my Apple Watch I have to inconveniently unplug a Lightning cable, find the Apple Watch charging cable with connected puck and then connect it to the adapter, charge the Apple Watch and then unplug it again and reattach the Lightning cable. When travelling it's even worse because because when you have one outlet in an inconvenient location (under a table for instance), I don't want to unplug the Lightning cable every time I need to charge my Apple Watch.
You could have a dedicated Apple Watch charging location in house, but I travel a lot and I have to dive under desks at each location to connect to outlets, so I need a more flexible solution. I still don't understand why the charging puck has the cable embedded inside instead of being able to connect a Lightning cable to it like this:
With the above cable you only have to bring or use one cable and charge your Apple Watch everywhere without bringing the very long Apple Watch only cable.
Has anyone found a solution for this problem yet? I heard about some concepts and projects trying to solve this problem, but they couldn't get it Lightning certified and therefore they switched to MicroUSB which doesn't solve the problem at all.
Or would something like this be possible: The Diskus MicroUSB Apple Watch charger
And then use a Lightning to MicroUSB adapter with it:
You would basically have the Lightning to MicroUSB adapter inserted in the Diskus charger all the time and you would be able to charge your Apple Watch with every Lightning cable available at any location.
I think there is an official Apple accessory available too, but that pad is huge and pretty expensive:
Is there an accessory that I am missing or are these the only options?
