I love this Belkin charger. I previously had 2 separate charger for my iPhone and Apple Watch. This beautifully integrates the 2 into one combo unit.One of the nice features is that the unit has the Apple Watch charger built in. Many other "Combo chargers" require you to snap in the separate Apple Watch charger and in reality are just a phone charger with a mounting ring. This is a complete set. Nothing else is needed.My only criticism of the unit - and it's not a major one - is that the horizontal charging style for the Apple Watch does not provide a lot of clearance on the bottom. Meaning that if you have a very bulky case or protector on the watch, the additional width of the case or bumper will make the watch no longer center on the charger face. I learned this the hard way when a particular bumper case I purchased increased the width of the watch and it would no longer charge. I had to go back to the original Apple charger to achieve proper centering.Finally, while I love this unit - it is a bit pricey. However, Belkin units are of very good quality and you are getting what you paid for. I would definitely purchase this again.

I was reluctant to get the BoostUp based on the negative reviews about loud buzzing noises some experienced. I'm so glad I went ahead and got it!I used a Belkin PowerHouse for years and was very happy it, but, with my new iPhone 11, I wanted a wireless charging experience. There are hundreds of options out there, but I decided to stay with Belkin because of their dependability and ease of use. This is a true "plug and go" item. Nothing to set up. Pull it out of the box (it was very well packaged), plug it in, drop your iPhone and Apple Watch on it, and they charge quickly.I've had no problems placing either my watch or phone on the stand. The watch charger magnet is strong. It grabs the watch and starts charging immediately. The phone changer has a deep groove in the base that helps center the phone on the charger. I have a Spigen case on my iPhone and the BoostUp has no issues charging through the case. Also, I have an iPhone 11 ProMax and it charges it with no issues!The vertical changing of the iPhone, rather than laying it down on a pad, is a big plus. I like being able to look at my phone, respond to a text, turn out lights, etc., without interrupting the changing process.I've experienced NO strange buzzing or humming noises! I will agree with other reviewers that the adapter for this is HUGE. Like, crazy big! The PowerHouse also had a large adapter, so this just must the the way Belkin does things.

I have both an iPhone and watch. I used a round flat induction charger for the phone and the apple charger on a stalk for the watch. The induction charger for the phone, being flat, made it impossible see the phone when used as a bedside charger and the phone had to be placed just so to attach. The watch frequently failed to attach and it was difficult to tell when either one was actually attached to its charger. This Belkin charger solved both problem. It attaches instantly to both devices and its vertical orientation makes the phone easily accessible without picking it up. It is certainly an expensive option but well worth it for reliable and effortless charging. I liked it so much I bought a second one for a second residence.

Bought this to replace a wired Belkin charger that had given up on me. I had some initial concerns because the previous model with a wired phone stand had demonstrated some pretty poor quality, but figured with Amazon returns, I could be safer with this.So far I am very impressed. Set up was simple, an easy single cord into the base and into the wall and it was set up. The wall charger is a little bulky though, so depending on where you are putting this, plan for a bit of a cramped socket, and don't plan on another USB power brick fitting alongside it.The phone stand and watch are pretty basic. The phone you just lean it on, and it'll go right to charging and the watch side has the standard Apple watch concave receptacle for charging. For those interested in charging an iPad like me, there is a USB port for a wired charger on the back of the base.The only downside I've found (other than the bulky plug) is that the phone side doesn't have a great retention system. Bump the charger, and the phone can slide right off the base. A small plastic bump would really help prevent phone-drops off the charger, especially if the user is charging overnight and waking up in the dark to shut off an alarm or find their device.

I had a cheaper charger that charged my iPhone XS and Apple Watch 2, but when I upgraded to the Apple Watch 5, it did not charge anymore so I had to go looking for a replacement. Despite the higher cost, I went with this Belkin version, and I have not been disappointed! It works no matter what, and as soon as I saw the power supply (very robust), I had a good feeling this would work. I am able to charge my iPhone XS, my Apple Watch 5 via the wireless docks, and even my work phone (iPhone 7) via the USB connection all at the same time. I have never had a problem charging these devices to 100% overnight, and even the charging light is barely noticeable, compared to the extremely bright light on my previous charger. I could not be happier with this product, although if I had one complaint it would be the high price. In this case, you definitely get what you pay for.

My husband and I keep these on our bedside tables. They work great!!! I wouldn't recommend them for travel as they are too bulky. But they are used every night by us, and we have had no problems. Even when we have a power outage, when the power comes back on these great devices go right back to charging. When the phone is charging a faint green light is illuminated on the side so it's easy to tell even when the phone is dark that the inductive charging is taking place. The magnetic inductive charger for the watch holds the watch in a position that it works as a clock. And when it goes dark, just a nudge of the table and it lights up. Honestly, I can vaguely remember fumbling for cords to plug in, but it seems like we've enjoyed these chargers forever!!!

I bought this to replace a cheaper wireless charger that I got a few months ago and this is worth every penny so far. It consistently charges both my phone & watch the entire time they're on the charger (my old one would drop the charge for a second then start back on, which would light up the screen when it started charging again, which is annoying in the middle of the night). There are also no indicator lights on the base stand except one very small, pinhole light on the backside of the phone stand that lights up when the phone is on it, which you can't even notice unless your staring directly at it from the side. Its a compact design that doesn't take up too much space on my nightstand but also isn't claustrophobic. 10/10 would buy again.

This charging stand is very easy to use for wireless charging of the Apple iWatch and the iPhone X. I bought this to replace a similar product that I purchased on KickStarter. The Belkin Boost Up Wireless Charging Dock is a finer more polished product. The Belkin product also includes the charging device for the iWatch, the previous product did not. This Belkin charger securely holds the iWatch and allows it to display the time in bedside mode. The previous product allowed the iWatch to slide down the side falling off the charger. The Belkin is a better thought out and executed design with a premium look and feel. You cannot go wrong buying this product. The only negative is it is expensive.

I had a similar item like this before I purchased this one and it wouldn't charge through my phone case. It also required my own cables. This one is a lot more expensive but definitely worth it. I've been using it for about 2 months now and its super easy to use, works fast and it charges through my phone case which actually has a magnetic backing on it (Mous phone case) . Love it. It did have a day when it did not charge and I thought it was broken but I just unplugged it and plugged it back in and it worked fine afterwards. No biggie.

I 100% LOVE this charging station.I can drop my iPhone X on it at just about any angle and can easily see that it’s charging without fiddling with it. Same with my 4th Generation Apple Watch with the added bonus that I don’t have to pop the watch charging puck in the back - it’s already built in!!The additional USB port on the back for a different cable is perfect and works great with a micro USB cable for my Kindle.Way less cable clutter on my nightstand and I never wake up to a dead phone or watch.
