The [Satechi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-wireless-charging-stand) USB-C Magnetic Charging Dock is an aftermarket accessory for use with the [Apple Watch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keychain-apple-watch-charger) that will enable users to keep the device powered up at all times and within reach. The dock connects to your choice of USB-C port on either a laptop or even the Apple [iPad Pro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maghub-3) to let users charge it and keep it within their nightlines to monitor for incoming notifications. This will also enable users to have the smartwatch function as an additional mini screen for running timers, displaying a clock, showing a weather forecast and more.
