I received my Mophie Watch stand/dock yesterday that I planned to use for hanging the Apple Watch on as soon as I come home everyday for simplicity and aesthetics. So far, I like it overall. It's smaller than the photos, it's not as vertically high as I thought before purchasing. The base is sturdy with the watch on it despite the light design, but may move a little when you're taking the watch off. I was concerned if the magnets will hold the watch in place without the watch falling down but it seems to be strong enough for that as well. The cords hide nicely and you only see it come out from the base. Quality and design are very nice. My favorite part is the leather accents because it prevents the watch from scratching when you put it on or take it off the stand, along with while it sits there charging. It's definitely a keeper being space-saving with a nice black/silver contrast to the Space Black SS. I've attached a couple photos, don't mind my Retina Macbook and multiport adapter behind it! :p

For less than half the price you can get this:

... Better looking and better build to ;)

I saw that and some better ones than that, such as Hello Nomad. The latter was the best looking to me in pictures, but the most well-rounded with the leather protection and looks was Mophie. Sure, they cost another $$30-35 more, but considering I spent $1100 for my Apple Watch I wanted to continue to pick something that was most aesthetically pleasing to me with protective leather. And I actually do like the Mophie one even more in person than the photos, so I don't plan to return it. I only did a review for the one I purchased, feel free to do the same with yours when it arrives to help others on the forum.
 
Personally I like the Mophie one better than Spigen. Between the two, I would pick it 11 times out of 10 without question. Had I not purchased a handmade stand from a forum member here I would have gone with the Mophie stand....so far it's the best looking one made by a mass manufacturer.
 
I've ordered a Premium One for my SS Space Black Link Bracelet. Stand ships end of June, so will make do with the standard box the watch came in until then.
