Customers love the Pod Portable Charger for its portability, battery life, and convenient size. However, some customers have concerns regarding the charging process, compatibility with certain watch cases and bands, and the fact that a cable is not included. Some find the price a bit high considering the need to purchase a separate cable. Additionally, a few customers have reported issues with the magnets.

    The only good thing is it makes your charge portable. It doesn't come with a cord. And most of the time you have to take the top off to get a good connection. So I blame that on a poor design. I would've returned it but I only had one charger so I'm making due. But I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

    This is a holder, not a charger.

    I mistakenly thought this was a more convenient or alternative means of charging my Apple Watch. It's not meant to be an extra charger. It plugs into your existing charger and you have a nice little stand for your watch. If that's what you want, yes, buy it.

      Hi,

      Sorry if there is any confusion on this product. Pod does contain a battery with extra charges for your Apple Watch. You simply plug in your Apple Watch charging cable, charge up the battery, press the button & you're good to go. nomadgoods

    This item cost way too much for what it supposedly does, I never got this product to do anything but light up, I purchased it before I went on a month long trip thinking it would be great to have, but the unit didn't work!

      Hi Emallory,
      The unit didn't charger your Apple Watch when you pushed the button? It should do at least 3 charges. For any support questions please reach out to [email protected] and we'll be happy to help you out. nomadgoods

    l found it extremely difficult to connect my watch cable to it. I also could not make contact between the charger and my watch due to the type of band I have. I returned this product for a refund.

    I have the stainless steel closed loop band on my watch and this device was not made for that style. The band you have must flex more than mine and open up. Soft bands would likely be okay.

    Not worth the money

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I travel a lot and was in the market for a device that could act as a power brick for my iwatch to give my watch a charge while I was on the road. I was excited to find this product, but it didn’t live up to be what I thought. The first disappointment to me was the fact that it doesn’t come with a charging cable for the actual watch so you either have to buy another one ($30) or use the one that came with your watch. If you are like me, my iwatch charging cable is plugged in behind my bed so every time I wanted to use my Nomad pod portable charger I had to move my bed and nightstand just to unplug the cable. At this point I might as well just take the charging cable with me when I travel making the Nomad travel pod useless. The second issue I had with the Nomad portable travel pod was it claims to hold four charges. I was only able to get one charge. Needless to say I returned this product. In my opinion for nearly $80 it should come with an additional charging cable for the watch and should provide the four charges as it was advertised.

    Definitely a very stylish, sleek, and useful charger. Works incredibly well, with a fairly small footprint. Perfect for traveling, and for vacations. The cable fits neatly inside, so that I don't have to bring a tangled mess with me. I look forward to using this while away.

    Serious missed opportunity

    I anticipated being able to use this as a hanging station at home. Be aware that this charger does not have pass through charging. What that means is, if you were to plug it in to the wall and put your watch on top of it, it won't charge. I have three other portable chargers of varying brands that all allow for this functionality, why is it that my Nomad Pod can't?

    Not realized it required cable

    I hope the manufacturer redesigns this product with a V 2.0 version. This morning, I realized that my watch hadn't charged overnight because somehow my original cable moved. I worked near a Best Buy and I ran across the street and bought this on impulse because of price and thinking that I was going to have two chargers. I was wrong. It requires using the original cable wound up inside before using it.
