AirPower is designed to charge multiple Apple devices at once, including the iPhone 8 and newer, Apple Watch Series 3 and newer, and AirPods when they are placed in the new optional wireless charging case introduced yesterday. The images on the AirPods page have simply never showed the Apple Watch on the mat.
AirPower was in fact shown with an Apple Watch on it when previewed on stage and on the Apple Watch page earlier last year:
