Third-party accessory manufacturer Griffin today announced a new combination Apple Watch and iPhone charging stand called the "WatchStand Powered Charging Station." The dock takes the original design of the company's WatchStand dock and adds on a new section that acts as a landing pad to charge an iPhone or iPad next to the Apple Watch.
The new version of the WatchStand comes with a built-in power supply and two dedicated USB charging ports so the cable clutter is visually reduced trailing out from the back of the dock. The WatchStand's underside provides multiple cable management opportunities to ensure that the cords for the Apple Watch and iPhone don't become unruly when both are placed on the stand.
Just as with the original WatchStand, the new version supports all bands for the Apple Watch and can even adapt to horizontal and vertical positions, giving users the option to try out new WatchOS 2 features like Nightstand mode. The base of the WatchStand lets users place their iPhone either on the top of a flat, felt surface or angled against the piece that holds up the Apple Watch, to watch videos while the iPhone charges.
The WatchStand Powered Charging Station is available to purchase from Griffin's official website for $59.99 starting today.

IMO, the best Apple Watch stand is the one Apple made, Apple Watch Edition case. Some may not frankly love the design, but I think it looks chic and it has many useful functions too. Its soft padding protects the watch extremely well. It can be used to transport the watch. And it is nightstand friendly to boot. The angle may not be too ideal for nightstand purpose though.
I am frankly baffled that no major 3rd party has produced a stand similar to it.
