As with all popular tech the range of accessories is never ending, especially when you are talking about wearable tech. The arrival of the Apple Watch has brought with it a big family of add-ons, and owners of the wearable are able to outfit their smartwatches with all variety of alternate bands, bumper cases, and screen protectors.
When it comes to charging you are spoiled for choice as well, with accessory manufacturers designing a number of third-party charging stands. The implementation of these chargers though have been a little less than successful, requiring customers to use the original magnetic charger as part of their stand. Apple however will change this in the near future by introducing a new charger component to its MFi partners.
Apparently the new charger the new charger is currently only available to accessory makers in sample quantities, allowing them to start work on new designs, with broader availability of the part arriving at a future date. In just a few months we will see new charging docks that can be used straight out of the box.
The new chargers might come at a higher price, we will need to wait and see. At least there will be a lot more high quality options available.
