Thinking of getting a wireless charger. What Apple devices can be charged on it, other than phones?

Also, what is a good one that won’t break the bank?
 
Some wireless chargers also support charging an Apple Watch, but not all. Look for declarations of Apple Watch support on the packaging.

I have the older version of this one by Seneo which works well for me.

You know of a standard Qi charger that will charge an Apple Watch...or are you talking about the units that have a dedicated watch charger built in?

I’m thinking it must be the ones with the watch charger built in. I can’t find anything the watch can just lay on and charge.

I meant units with a dedicated Apple Watch charger, or a spot where you can slot the charger that comes with the Apple Watch.

Ok, thanks. Just wanted to ensure your post was clear for OP...and make sure you weren’t holding out on us.

Okay so what do I need to buy besides the charger? It doesn’t look like any come with the wall charger, and I want to be sure I’m purchasing the correct wattage charger. I don’t want to damage my batteries on my devices.
 
if you want to charge your iphone, airpods and apple watch together and which you can also use as an LED light you can check this out its on sale for $49.99 seemed pretty reasonable to me. but check it out here

Those look cool! I wound up getting one of the Seneo ones from Amazon. I actually just got the cheaper one that does 2 (the watch and one other device). I don’t use my Airpods a ton, so I don’t think I’ll be in a situation where having to put all 3 things on the charger at once will be an issue, and i figured I would start with something less expensive to try out. Heck I don’t even know how much I’ll use it with my phone because I’ll probably have to take the case off, but I like that I can just have the one cord that has to plug in - just so tired of cords. I keep a charger in my living room anyway, so I’m sure I’ll still plug my phone in there a good bit of the time.

Anxious to try it though!
 
You can most likely get a good idea of QI certified chargers on the Apple online website they have some cool chargers there

They really do have some cool ones! Oh well, I’ll sell how my cheapo one does the trick. I really doubt I’ll put my phone on it often, but it’ll be nice for the watch and AirPods.

Is it bad for them to be on the fast chargers, or the higher wattage ones (watch and AirPods)? I don’t want to ruin batteries.
 
If it is just for an iPhone and Watch, the one I got my wife from Amazon works well and was a reasonable price. I can't get to the link right now though. I'm pretty sure it was Amazon Choice and it has the iPhone charger on the left that you can adjust between flat and a stand, and the watch charger is on the upper right. It even works with her 11PM with the Smart Battery Case without collapsing the stand or falling off. It has the cable but you need the charger. As long as the charger is reputable, you should be good. Even if the charger is a higher Wattage, the devices will only allow what they need.

EDIT: Oops it is actually a 4 in 1
