Been testing these out for weeks now and it charges faster than the original Apple Watch charger. Have these attached to my laptop in the office for easy quick charge. The portability is next level convenience.

Since I started wearing my Apple Watch to bed, I frequently need to charge it midday. I had purchased an Apple branded fast charging wire to plug into my car charger, but the Watch often did not stay attached to the magnetic charging surface. Insignia charger to the rescue! My first try with the Watch at 44% and by the time I got to work about a half an hour later it was at 70%. I could’ve saved some money with an open box, but even at full price I am pleased with the purchase. Please don’t judge me for my messy car console. ;)

Works as if I were using the stock charger. I use it when traveling mainly. Plug it into a power bank and its ready to go when I need it again. Very small and portable device. Don’t know if I’d trust the little loop on a lanyard or key ring. So I just keep it in the storage bag my power bank is kept in.

I have tried 4 different charging pucks for my Series 5 watch (including the standard Apple charging cable that came with my watch.
Two are different brands I purchased on Amazon that looked very similar to this Insignia puck.
Here are the results of my testing:
AVG TIME TO FULL CHARGE
- Best Buy Insignia Puck ~ 2.0 hours.
- Standard Apple Charging cable ~ 2.5 hours.
- Amazon Black Puck ~ 3 hours.
- Amazon White Puck ~ 5 hours. (so slow as to be unusable).
Very happy with purchase with 2 caveats:
1.) This product is the most expensive of the options I have tried.
2.) This product is somewhat larger (thicker) than the other options I have tried.
I have a portable external battery that I keep in my bag that has this attached to it and it will keep my watch charged for a week or so.
Would recommend. Thanks.

This product offers excellent efficiency and is small enough to bring along anywhere I go. My Apple watch was constantly dying before returning home from work and the gym, but not anymore. This is a brilliant design that allows me to charge my Apple watch from any computer or USB. Not to mention it’s affordable and reliable.

I bought this at Best Buy while at work after realizing my watch was almost dead. Forgot to charge it the night before. Best buy had it ready in about 30 minutes and I picked it up. Plugged it into the USB slot in the dash of my truck. Within 25 minutes it charged to over 35% which was plenty to finish out my day. The charger is super compact and is a great buy. Highly recommend.

I almost didn't buy this. I rushed into the nearest Best Buy when I was away from home and had left my watch charger behind. A nice young man directed me to the chargers and handed me another corded charger like the one I left at home. He said this is what you want. I decided to look a little more and found this Charging Dongle at the bottom of the rack. I decided to give it a try. It is perfect for travel! I usually just plug it into my laptop while I'm working and drape my watch across it. I sometimes plug it into a wall outlet with a power adapter. Again, my watch easily drapes across it and there is no need for a cord. Definitely a good buy!

Very satisfied with the purchase. It’s an easy carry to charge Apple Watch on the go - whether in car or hotel or airport. All that is required is an USB port. No fussy wires, very compact to use. It has a keychain loop so can’t be forgotten.

This charging dongle works amazing well. I'd gone on a trip, and the one I had just didn't work, so I went to a local BestBuy to see what they had. This version was available, and it also didn'nt have a long cord attached to it. Since I already had a long cord, all I needed was this particular version of this charging dongle. On the way to where I was staying at for this trip, I placed this charging dangle in and set the iWatch in to charge, and sure enough, it worked, and it worked quite well, too. So I'm definitely going back to BestBuy to buy another so I can have two. It's a good piece of work.

Great device to throw in your briefcase and leave it - always there. No need to struggle with cables to charge your Apple watch. And less expensive than others you'll find advertised.

Compact little charger. It didn’t get hot like some of the other off brand watch chargers I’ve used. Good for traveling with.
