Pricey docks start trickling in as device awaits launch

It’s crazy to think that the Apple Watch, being an accessory in and of itself, will have its own accessories. But it will. And most of them will be in the charging department, by the looks of things.

We still have a few more months to weather out, with our wrists craving that wonderful new piece of Apple technology announced on September 9. But you can soothe your pain by glancing at the newly-emergent accessories for the Apple Watch.

Composure Dock by Rest

One such example is the all-new Composure charger dock from Rest, a small San Francisco-based design studio dedicated to the art of elegant storage. The Composure is a dock that uses the existing MagSafe charger that Apple ships with the watch and houses it under a sleek walnut enclosure for rapid charging with the upmost style and convenience.

“The new MagSafe inductive charger for Apple Watch is a magical piece of technology. Get it remotely close to your watch and it will snap into place and begin charging, just like that,” says the team behind the dock.

“Composure takes this effortless charging a step further by transforming your MagSafe charger cable into a full on charging dock. No more fumbling or hunting for your charger cord at night. Your charger will always be where it should be, and displayed beautifully so,” Rest adds.

The rest of the story is in the pictures (below). The thing will sell for 80 bucks, or about 60 Euros, and it will arrive to your doorsteps within 45 days of the first deliveries of the Apple Watch.

DODOcase’s charging stand for Apple Watch

Yet another San Fran studio called DODOcase is preparing to sell a similar accessory, but one that keeps the watch elevated with its band closed, rather than resting sprawled across the table.

This one’s also made from walnut, sports some American-tanned leather, and “features inductive charging housing to easily snap watch into place and provide single handed lift-off.”

It also has a travel mode that allows you to wrap the cable and charger in a single package and hit the road, and it can be fastened to any surface using the built-in “space age Japanese suction cup material [which] grabs mounting surface for sturdy placement and one handed watch lift off but leaves no adhesive residue.”

Don’t worry about making a pick now. Chances are these two will be dwarfed by the upcoming wave of Apple Watch chargers and docks.
