I bought this on Black Friday for the reason that it was a good price, and I can wirelessly charge my iPhone 14 Pro Max and watch at the same time. I haven't used it yet but plan to use it on vacation and business trips.

Nice solution for fewer cords but can get warm

This charger is really nice and convenient. I bought this for my wife to put next to our bed so she would have less cords on her smaller night stand. She loves this. Both the phone and watch charge pretty quick. The only downside is the phones will get pretty warm borderline hot when charging. Other than that this has been a great product and will probably buy one more for our living room coffee table.

I know this was extravagant, as I had charges for my iphone and my watch, but I have SO many cords between my imac and iphone and watch and kindle and ipad that I was going crazy with trying to find outlets and having cords everywhere. Any chance to consolidate was a good one. I didn't want to spend the money on an apple magna (sp?) charger and this was less than half the price, plus I had a rewards certificate from best buy so it was very reasonable. I read how it's a bit wonky to line things up right to get the charge flowing and that is true. That's why I took off a star. I don't mind it that much, though it is a bit annoying to get my phone in just the right spot to take the charge, but it does work well. My favorite thing is the iwatch charger because I love having it hold the phone upright so I can see the time next to my bed and see how much it has charged. Before I had to have it flat. I think I may have assembled it backwards as the plug faces front, but honestly, for my purposes it works better that way for me so I can have the wires flow off my bedside table right and I didn't care to take it apart and put it together again. It doesn't matter, it works, it was cheap, I'm happy.

Not a sponsored review. I've owned multiple chargers over my years and anger has always been a go to.
Two small issues
Plug for wall is big so you have to be aware of plugging other devices in. And your phone must be DIRECTLY centered which is a slight annoyance. It does charge relatively fast so I have no issues with that

Easy to set up and use. It works great, sometimes I need to move the phone around to get it in the correct position to start charging. I also have had a little trouble getting the watch to charge with the tab is up depending on the band on the watch. It is easier to just let it lay flat with the watch on top.

The Anker - PowerWave+ Qi Certified Wireless Charging Pad is pretty nice. I went from using two charging stations down to one on my nightstand. It will save you needed space. The only drawback is that you have to really line up your phone in the right spot to charge. Off by a little, will keep your phone from charging. Other than that, it’s great.

Convenient and easy to setup. Charges the watch and phone faster. Works even with phone case on. Only downsides is, you only need to correct spot for it to charge, once you got it, make a mark so it's easy next time.

Almost Perfect

I purchased this product for $24.99 during Christmas and it works perfectly as intended. Although, you have to provide your own Apple Watch magnetic charger, it is quite easy to slide off the back cover and route the charger through the grooves. Additionally, its slim design allows it to fit easily into a backpack.
However, if I had to change one thing about this product, it would be the micro USB charging connector. The retention mechanism of this connector is quite fragile, therefore, with repeated use, the small clips on the cable may wear out, causing the cable to wiggle while it is plugged in. My best guess would be that Anker chose to give the PowerWave+ a micro USB port as a sort of cost cutting measure, as USB C connectors are more expensive to procure. With that being said, if this product had a USB C connector, it would be an instant recommendation. As it stands, it's a big "maybe".

Solid choice for the price

It’s a good overall charger, well built with plastic, but sturdy. The wireless charger is nice and works with most phones I have, but with my iPhone 13 Pro Max with an Apple branded case sometimes it can be tricky to get the placement right because of how big the camera bump is on the case. Apple Watch charger only supports slow charger with normal USB-A and not the new fast USB-C charger. Wish this was the fast charger supported for the watch but this doesn’t bug me too much. Overall solid choice for the price. Definitely don’t regret picking this up.

This wireless charger works great and is extremely quick and easy to use. I can also charge my AirPods on this device as well. The reason for only 4 stars is that when I got my new iPhone 11, I was told it was not good to use wireless chargers more than about once a week as they were not good for battery life. If I had known that I may not have purchased this item. However, this is an excellent product, easy to set up, and does exactly what it says it will do. I suppose I should have researched wireless charging before deciding to purchase.

Working from home, I have my own phone, work phone, the Apple Watch, iPad, and a partridge in a pear tree. Having one charging device for multiple devices is a great idea, and also saves on outlet space. The charging pad is quick, the watch is seamless, and my work phone as well. But, my Otterbox Defender on my personal phone, no so much. It almost reminds me of tuning my grandparents antenna back in the day. My wife’s charger, different brand, throw it on the pad, and it takes off. Would I buy this again, sure, it makes charging the Apple Orchard easier, regardless.

This is exactly what I needed. It QUICKLY charges my watch and phone together and I don't have to worry about taking up a bunch of space on my desk. My only complaint with this product is how difficult is was to install the watch charger lol which was a bit disappointing because I didn't even realize that I had to insert my own charger when I bought it... I thought it came with whatever it needed to work, but that's my fault for not paying attention. But it did take me about 30mins to correctly install the cable so that the bottom would close.

The good: it charges reasonably fast. Keeps your nightstand / desk neat without all those charging cords in the way. Relatively easy to find the charging coil to place your phone (I have done it many times in the dark). Keeps your watch in nightstand mode, just tap on the charger and your watch wakes up with the time. Watch charging cable neatly wraps underneath the pads pop-off cover. Watch charger folds down flat for easy packing.
Not so good: it is plastic, but NOT “cheap feeling.” It is white only. No extra watch charging cable, you use the one that came with the watch.

This charger is really convenient. The only thing is that you need your actual Apple Watch charger. You have to install it into this, but it works all the same. I don’t have any issues with its performance.

I bought this charger for my camp, gaining space and organization was my main idea for the purchase. It does what it’s intended to do, although a few times I’ve woken up to either my watch not fully charged or the phone. Maybe I’ve hit it through the course of the night not realizing it. It’s a bit pricey with this issue which is why I didn’t rate it a 5. But not knowing if it’s user error or not I still think it’s a good product.

I bought this charging pad for my nightstand. It is way better than having all of the cords laying around but you must be sure that you have placed your phone and watch exactly right in order for them to charge properly. I have left for work in the morning a couple of times with minimum battery on both devices because I didn't place them properly on the charger.

Everything about this dual charger is great!! Price, size, & value. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because of trying to keep the wire for my watch charger tucked in and not being pinched. Once I got it though(took several times to figure it out) you’ll have to put some force to get the backing attached
