5.0 out of 5 starsCharges fine, but very lightweight and cheaply made.

My wife and I bought two of these to use on our nightstands and for travel as we both have iPhone 14 Pro Max phones, Series 7 Apple watches and AirPods pro (series 1 for the wife and series 2 for me).
First, the positives... From an operational standpoint, these charge all three devices properly using the included charger. And they look stylish on our nightstands. The ability to fold flat for travel packing is good as well. So, no real complaints on these points.
However, there are several things that we dislike about these devices and that will probably ultimately lead to their replacement.
1) They are very lightweight and cheaply made. Because of this they don't stay in place when trying to put the phone or watch on them. They tend to slide around and make it hard to get things aligned properly. In addition, they are both warped a bit on the base. This causes them to not have all four rubber feet firmly on the surface and the rock back and forth a bit. This also contributes to the overall instability.
2) The magnet for holding the watch in place is very weak. Many times, the watch will fall off its mount when placing the phone on the easel side. This also causes the watch to lean to one side or the other rather than staying upright on the charger. The weight of the watch strap easily overcomes the weak magnetic attachment, and the watch leans one way or the other.
3) The plastic foot that props up the phone stand at an angle has an extremely thin detent to rest in. This causes the easel to constantly come loose and fold flat when placing or removing the phone from the charger. Again, this speaks to item #1 above, the lightweight and cheap construction.
4) The rubber feet are very hard rubber and do not grip the surface the charger is placed on. Add that to #1 above, and it makes the entire device hard to work with as it doesn't stay in place when placing the phone, watch, or AirPods on it.
So, we would not recommend this item, nor would we buy it again. Thankfully, it's inexpensive so we got what we paid for.
Edit: The manufacturer reached out to me directly and has definitely taken my comments to heart. They are reviewing their design, particularly to improve stability and the power of the watch magnet. As I stated above, the charger works great, and if they get these issues fixed in a future revision, it'll be an excellent choice!!
