Belkin - PowerHouse Charging Dock for iPhone® and Apple Watch - Black

Holds watch and phone. Wish it had wireless phone charging.

Let me start by saying I have had 4 other iPhone/Apple Watch charging docks. I have been in search of the perfect charger, and prior to using this Belkin Dock, I have been disappointed every time. I have the bamboo dock everyone has seen, the round flat watch charger, the watch like charging box and an aluminum charging watch/iPhone stand/dock. With all of the others, I had to supply my own Apple Watch magnetic charging cable and lightning cable (if it was also an iPhone charger). That led to an abundance of cables and an extra power cord. What a mess on my nightstand! Along came this Belkin Apple Watch Dock. It INCLUDES both the Apple Watch magnetic charger and iPhone lightning charger built in! So no dangling cables and no need for 2 additional USB ports nearby. Finally, an ideal solution! This compact unit is very sturdy and well-built. The bottom is lined with a type of rubber to prevent movement and keep it secure. It has some weight to it as well. And it is an attractive piece. (see photos). How does it work? I will start with the iPhone dock. The lightning portion of the cable comes out of the bottom of the stand. There is a small wheel behind the unit which you can rotate to move the cable up and down to fit with your case. I happen to have a flap covering the power hole on my case. So I have to flip it open and rotate the wheel up as far as it can go so that the phone will fit with the flap (you only need to set this one time). No problem. The phone actually stands upright when on the charger (very sturdily) and charges just fine. I would think that the rotating cable will allow phones with most cases to fit. I don't know the actual distance it travels up/down. The cable also tilts front to back to allow for the thickness of your case. I do have to use a finger to hold down the unit while removing my phone from the charger. I have had no issues with the iPhone charger at all. The Apple Watch portion works better than expected. I wanted a unit that would allow me to charge the watch in nightstand mode. And with this unit, I CAN! I was able to remove my old, bulky clock/radio from my nightstand. I just tap the watch face or the base of the unit, and the watch shows the time, date, and charging status! My phone stands upright while charging, so I lay the watch across the magnetic charger with 1/2 the band behind the phone and the other hanging to the right. I have the Apple Watch (stainless steel with case) which weighs more than the Apple Sport watch, yet it stays attached to the magnet in nightstand mode without a problem. It is VERY secure. One time it did say "charging with this accessory is not supported by Apple Watch" but I removed the watch and set it on the charger again, and I haven't seen that message again. You can also charge it upright without problem. I am more than pleased with this Belkin dock and it meets my every need for charging/docking my iPhone and Apple Watch. It charges my phone & watch quickly and completely. No messy extra cables, no needed USB ports. Just one simple cord coming out of a very clean looking, attractive, well-built and solid unit. It works better than expected. I wish I had found this sooner!

With this Belkin dock, I can finally eliminate the multi-charger setup on my nightstand. Gone are the tangled wires hanging near my bedside! Here's what I like: - Modern, sleek design. - Fits iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus perfectly. - Charges iPhone and Apple Watch quickly using only one power outlet. - The height of the lightning connector on the dock is adjustable, so it will work with practically any case. No need to remove your case just to dock/charge your phone. - I can easily remove my iPhone from the dock with just one hand -- I don't need to use my other hand to hold down the dock. - The arm to charge the Apple Watch is very sturdy. The Watch attaches very easily and works with all of my watch bands. Overall, this Belkin dock is a great accessory for any Apple Watch user looking to save space and charge their devices without multiple cords and chargers. Highly recommended!

I’ve been using this powerhouse charging dock for a couple of weeks now. It’s great to only need one power supply to charge my iPhone and Apple Watch. It keeps them together so that when I need to take them with me I don’t have to search for one or the other.

The worst fault of owning both my Apple I-Phone 6 and Apple Watch was keeping them both charged up. Because of the way I use my I-Phone it must be charged each day, and preferably, by early AM. My Apple Watch, however, will go as much as two days sometimes before it needs recharging. But, I did not have a good practice of charging my watch as needed. Sometimes I would 'forget'. Additionally, the charger included with the Apple Watch is sort of cumbersome and could be better designed. So, as a result many times my watch was too low on battery for it to function the entire two full days. However, my hit-or-miss charging ways were changed after I received a complimentary Belkin PowerHouse Charge Dock for Apple Watch and I-Phone for evaluation. By using this convenient docking device for over a week, I was able to develop a nightly habit of charging both my phone and watch together. WooHoo! The Belkin PowerHouse Charge Dock sits on my nightstand, and, looks pretty spiffy when both the I-Phone and Apple Watch are cradled. Plus, there is only one cable to plug into an A/C current outlet. Over the last week I have noticed that this Belkin PowerHouse Charge Dock charges much faster then the standard chargers, included with the I-Phone and Apple Watch. What I really appreciate is the angle of my I-Phone while it is docked. It is so easy to read the time from my bed as I use the I-Phone as my wake-up alarm. The base is weighted, so the I-Phone is not tippy while it is docked , or, if I choose to use any of the other features of my I-Phone like playing music or listening to the nightly news. The Versacase dial on the back of this device raises or lowers the adjustment of the 'lightning-connector'. This is important for me since I use a protective, thin case on my I-Phone. For my Apple Watch the built-in magnetic charging module 'grabs' it and effortlessly aligns it up for inductive charging. Now, my Apple Watch is ready with a full charge when I wake up each morning. The Belkin PowerHouse Charge Dock for Apple Watch and I-Phone is the most convenient way to reliably charge both of my two most important devices. YooHoo! I highly recommend the purchase of this Belkin PowerHouse Charge Dock for yourself, or, as a great gift to any family member or friend for any occasion. Most importantly this device will also allow you to develop a reliable charging routine too. There are so many 'positives', you won't be disappointed.

If you’re tired of multiple cords and cables falling off your nightstand, this all-in-one charging dock is your solution! I was tired of having my apple watch charging puck fall off my nightstand and I would spend 5 minutes fishing it back up my nightstand. Same goes with my iphone charging cable. I knew I wanted an all-in-one charging dock but most of those docks require you to use your OEM watch charger. This belkin dock is self contained and only requires one power cable plugging into the back of the dock to quickly power both your apple watch and your iphone. This frees up your original apple watch charging puck for travel use! The form factor is well thought out and looks great on my nightstand with or without my devices. The soft rubber backing keeps your phone and watch scratch free. Its also rubber bottomed so it won’t scratch your nightstand or desk. It does have a good weight to it so it wont easily move around when you’re docking your phone. Belkin also have solved the issue with different phone cases adding different thickness to your phone. There is a dial on the back that allows the built in lightening plug to move up or down. The plug also pivots so there is always a setting that you can easily dock your phone with one hand. After setting up the dial on the back, you can easily dock your phone in the dark and while half asleep. The magnetic apple watch charger allows you to charge your apple watch on its side for nightstand mode or in its traditional orientation. I highly recommend this belkin charging dock if youre looking to de-clutter your nightstand and charge both devices fast. Pros: • Looks great on your nightstand • Very thoughtful design to accommodate different phone cases • Heavy weight to keep it from moving around Cons: • A bit spendy but it does charge the apple watch without using your original cable • Not good if you like to surf on your phone and keep it plugged in at the same time. • Magnet could be stronger. I some times bump the nightstand hard enough to disconnect my apple watch. I highly recommend this charging dock. I hope you found this review useful!

The Belkin dock is a really nice accessory for anybody that owns and Apple watch and IPhone. This dock is equipped with very cool features and is very compact for tight space situation. I will start with the Pros and end with the Cons. Pros: - Unlike some of the more "affordable" docking stations that are available from other manufactures, Belkin's Apple dock has the built in chargers for the Apple watch, and phone, all in one place. You no longer need to have two chargers to charge your devices. The watch charger is also magnetized, so no need to worry about how to hold it in place. - Another real cool feature that this dock has is a retractable apple lightning port that allows it to extend and retract to fit certain phone cases(There is an issue with this that will be explained in the cons section). This comes in handy for folks who have a case on their phone. - The fact that this dock is very compact allows you to have a much cleaner looking work space, for those of you who place your devices on your desk. Everything fits in a small area, so there is no need to have your phone laying in one area and your watch in another. - The dock is heavy enough to prevent you from knocking it over when reaching for either of your devices. This is really important to me because it makes the dock feel of even greater quality. I don't want to knock things over in the middle of the night when I'm reaching over to check the time. Cons: - Not too many cons, but one major issue with the docking station is that, although the lightning charging port is able to extend and retract, it does not come out enough to plug into my phone with an Otterbox Defender case on it. It might work if you remove the rubber liner from it, so this is something to think about if you a beefy case on your phone. - The overall looks of the dock does not win it any awards, but its functions outweigh this little issue. - Another things that I disliked about the dock, and this is the case for pretty much all other docs, is the fact that you are not able to dock the watch on its side to allow the Nightstand mode to go into effect. Too bad, this would have definitely been something new that Belkin could have implemented in the overall design of its dock. It might not be an important feature for all, but I really find it useful. Overall, the Belkin dock is a great accessory to have for anyone that is limited in space. this allows to run only one cord to charge both devices, and puts everything in a small compact space. The retractable lightning port is another great feature for folks with thin cases on their phones. I would highly recommend this Belkin dock to anyone that is in the market for one. You will not regret your purchase.

This is a must have item for anyone with an Apple watch and an iPhone! First of all...let me comment about the quality of this item. When it arrived...at first I thought I was sent the wrong item. The box was way to heavy for a simple little phone dock. But I opened up the box...and it was the right product! This thing has some very nice weight to it (just over a pond to be exact) It is very solid and sturdy and obviously a well made product. I had owned something similar from another companty. It was very lightweight, and you had to use the charging disc that came with the apple watch and the lightning cable that came with the iPhone and thread them through all these places and it was still a big mess with cords everywhere. This one is simple, sleek, and works perfectly. The best part is...only one cable, and you don't need to use your lightning cable or the charging puck for your apple watch so you can bring them to your office or wherever as a spare. As far as the functionality goes...it works exactly as you'd expect it to. Just put your phone on it and your watch on it and it will have them charged in no time! The lightning cable at the bottom is even height adjustable so it will still work even if your phone is in a case. As an added bonus...I also have an iPad Pro..and I am able to set that on the charger and that works as well! I would highly recommend this to anyone with an iPhone and a Apple watch!
