I stopped using my Apple's Watch dock after trying this Scosche keychain charger

This $35 keychain puck charges Apple Watch and AirPods directly from your iPhone's USB-C port.

Deep Dive

Scosche has launched the WatchIt, a compact keychain charger that's changing how Apple Watch users handle on-the-go power. The $34.99 device features an Apple Watch magnetic charging puck with an innovative flip-out USB-C connector that swivels to plug directly into iPhones (models 15 and newer) or standard USB-C chargers. Unlike traditional docks or cable-based solutions, the WatchIt measures just keychain-size and uses tough polymers to withstand daily carry alongside keys and other items.

The technical innovation lies in its direct iPhone connectivity—users can charge their Apple Watch or AirPods directly from their iPhone's battery, eliminating the need for separate power banks or wall outlets while traveling. The USB-C connector is specifically designed to work even with thick iPhone cases, and the swivel mechanism protects the connector from damage when not in use. This addresses a common pain point for Apple Watch Ultra users who need reliable charging during extended outdoor activities.

For professionals and frequent travelers, the WatchIt represents a significant reduction in charging clutter. Instead of packing separate chargers for Apple Watch and AirPods, users can rely on their iPhone as a power source. The device is currently available for $27.14 on Amazon and $31.99 at Walmart, positioning it as an affordable accessory for the Apple ecosystem. While it doesn't contain its own battery (requiring connection to a power source), its ultra-portable design makes it ideal for situations where traditional charging setups are impractical.
