Not only does it fit the bill for charging, but it fits that special category of ready for travel with its small compact size. The 1.73-by-2-by-0.45-inches, 0.31-pounds sized charger features an Apple Watch-certified charging plate in squared device with a space gray aluminum finish.
THE COST $44.99

WHAT'S HOT One side has a USB-C connector, which connects to any USB source providing power. That's it, there nothing to wind up or tie together.
First and foremost, the charging works perfect. With its USB-C connection built in, it plugs directly into your computer, USB-C tablets, AC wall plug or with an extension cable like the Satechi USB-C to USB-C extension 9-inch cable ($12.99) to give it a little extra reach.
WHAT'S NOT Having a USB-C coupler bundled in would have been a nice touch. Then it could have been plugged into the cable that charges your iPad or MacBook, but that's small nit to pick.
