Would you buy something like this if Anker made it?

Strange how android have had wireless tech for a few years, but now apple does it, people are talking about it, like apple invented it (despite it not being apple tech inside, most apples are made with Sony n Samsung bits).

Yep for Apple Watch :slight_smile:

So you would carry around something the size of a phone just to wirelesly charge your apple watch? What’s the point? Charge it at home and go about your day

it isn’t that strange, Crapple is a popular brand so when they eventually do something years later it then gets talked about.

I would carry one but it would have to be the size of a box of tic tac or something similar. I have the 1st generation Apple Watch and have depleted my battery by the end of the day from fully charged on several occasions. Either because I used my Apple Watch a lot that day or it wasn’t fully charged by the time I left the house. So having something like this would have been helpful. Yes, I also carry a Anker power bank but the problem with that is that I have to also carry at least a 3ft Apple Watch charging cable. I would like the convenience of having a small power bank with the apple charging cable already implemented into it and then just resting my Apple Watch on it when I’m sitting at Starbucks or whatnot. It’s not like Apple gives us much option as far as charging cable size. For instance, something like this would be great to just clip onto a backpack or belt loop.

Yea I remember seeing that from another company but it also cost something like 100 bucks, your paying for the convenience over anything else at that point.

The included usb cable for Apple Watch is so long and not easy to carry when I am on different trips but a power bank like this would be perfect I need a power bank to charge my phone anyways and I can use it to charge my Apple Watch it would be great!

Convenience is important and I am willing to spend for it.

This is perfect. If you do a workout also in the day even if that’s a 30 brisk walk your battery takes a hit too and something like this would be amazing.

Yep, that was the first time my battery went dead on me… when I was on a workout. I just thought my watch wasn’t working right since there was no display. Come to find out later that my battery was depleted. The battery depletes much faster if you’re using a workout app + listening to music + have GPS tracking on. That’s why I was so hoping that Anker would make something like this. Carrying along the Apple Watch charging cable is a pain. I don’t even bother carrying it around anymore.

Come on @AnkerTechnical hook us up and show some love for the Apple Watch :thumbsup:

We (the whole world) needs a small portable battery that we can charge our watch. Even if that means I have to buy and extra cable and install it in some kind of housing. Preferably have it built in though :thumbsup:

You can knock one of those up I’m sure :heart_eyes:

So curiosity has gotten the better of me and I looked it up, there are a slew it companies who make key chain size chargers ranging from 30 bucks and up. If others can do it surely Anker can too

That’s what I’ve been saying. :stuck_out_tongue: But of course, Anker’s would be wayyyyyy better :wink:

Thing is, USA electric is weaker at 110volts (the reason they don’t have a kettle, it can’t.cope).

This means, that any electronic components don’t have to be so resistive, as it doesn’t deal with 220/240 volts like most of the world. This means, that parts n production is far cheaper, esp as they don’t even have a proper earth wire either, just 2 prongs.

I would guess at this being a huge reason why the rest of the world is ignored when it comes to mains powered goods.

Tell me about it. Twice as long to make a cuppa, twice as long for toast. Tea+toast is a UK stable for breakfast.

Oh they don’t have decent bacon nor waffles and the sausages arent that brilliant.

On the positive side there isn’t the ex-empire sense of entitlement of wealth for no effort either (hence why salaries are 70% higher)

This is your opinion not fact our food is just as good as yours if not much better and wider variety. You just have to know where to look there’s also a ton of garbage food here.

We also have 110 and 220 in our homes but only use the 220 for larger appliances like the washing machines and stoves. Not toasters or kettles

PS. your plugs look ridiculous. :joy::joy::wink:

Short answer, no.

I would absolutely puck one up it would be great to be able to charge your phone even if you forget a cable at home.
