For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with Satechi to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win a USB-C Dual Charging Station that's designed to charge the iPhone and the Apple Watch at the same time.

Available in Silver or Space Gray to match Apple's devices, Satechi's Dual Charging Station provides a total of 15W of power to charge an iPhone and an Apple Watch.

The Charging Station, priced at $64.99 normally but on sale for $38.99, features a slim, attractive design with a pedestal for each device, holding both the iPhone and the Apple Watch upright for easy viewing.

You'll need to supply your own cables for the iPhone and Apple Watch, but the Charging Station includes built-in cable management features to wind up excess cable. It comes with a USB power adapter and a USB-C to USB-A cable.

Satechi has designed the charger with smart charging technology that will provide the proper amount of power to each of the two devices that are being charged. It works with all modern Apple devices that have Lightning connectors, along with the Series 1, 2, and 3 Apple Watch models.

Maybe the slightly larger case on the 44mm watch pushes it off the charger? That lip on the bottom doesn’t leave much room. Just a guess.

On second thought, the case is the same isn’t it, just the screen is larger...
 
Doesn't look like a bad charger combo i will enter just to see what happens. best of luck to all who enter
 
Embarrassing chinese plastic garbage. Something like that was chic in 1978.

My spontaneous question: Does the multi-part plastic case squeak when you have to hold it with one hand to pull the iPhone with case out of the plug, or does the Watch 4 just fall off because its outer dimensions are too large for the station?

San Diego Company? Waste of resources! This is low level design of China mass-produced.
This crap wouldn't have an aesthetic chance in Europe. So they try to get rid of it in their homeland. Good luck.
Every product will find some customers before you have to give it away.

Some people marry ugly women, I am fine with that.

Apple is that strong because it creates extremely simple functional slim and attractive space-saving design.
California can be proud that just Apple can do so:

Why should I? You don't have to reinvent the wheel. Apple has already elegantly solved the power supply.
I always don't like the waste of human resources, I hope you can understand that. I have nothing against companies that also want a piece of the pie, but this here is already so obviously stupidly solved, therefore I do not have to take it in the hand at all...

This may work for some for awhile but isn't Apple going to USB-C for next years phones?

Sounds like you're saying Apple "solved" the charging solution by just making charging cables and the watch charging puck? Some of us actually DO like having a charging dock/station. I've got a nice one, from China, that charges my watch, phone, and AirPods in a metal frame with a small footprint that is the same space gray as the rest of my devices. It looks great on my desk and unclutters all the cables.

Now when you say this Satechi dock is "ugly," I can't disagree with you there...

Doubt it. Apple will go full wireless charging on the iPhone before USB-C.



This dock is already obsolete with the series 4 watch and wireless charging on the new(er) iPhones.

Wireless charging is very slow my opinion you can't beat charging with a cable.
