For this week’s giveaway, we’ve teamed up with Nomad to give five MacRumors readers a chance to win either a Nomad Pod or a Nomad Stand for the Apple Watch.

The Nomad Pod is a compact Apple Watch stand and charger that includes an 1800 mAh battery for charging your Apple Watch even when away from home. The two-piece Pod includes a handy hidden cord wrap and a brushed aluminum cover held in place by magnets. It ships with a keychain-sized Nomad Micro-USB cable to keep it charged, and a rubber backing on the bottom keeps it secure on any surface.

Pffft

Imgur, one of the most popular image hosts and communities on the internet, is able to give away ('http://imgur.com/baconrules') a year's supply of Bacon for free to anyone in the world.

MacRumors can't manage to give away a piece of digital software - or an Apple Watch stand - to anyone outside the U.S.

Try harder.

Whatever they say, the fact that they shout out these offers but then at the end it is only for US Citizens, is really annoying for THE REST OF THE WORLD.

As the US is only a (small) part of the worldwide community of macrumors users, it might be an idea to stop these giveaways...
I've noticed an increasing number of users that are unsatisfied with the way this is handled. I do believe that there are regulations macrumors has to respect, but since it causes a lot of displeasure...

Those vertical stands will loose half of their usefulness latest with Watch OS 2, - at least the nightstand mode requires the :apple:Watch to be in horizontal state.
Actually you can balance the watch on its side on this stand. I do and night mode works fine
