Nomad Launches Universal Cable That Can Charge Apple Watch and USB-C Devices

Nomad today announced the launch of a unique cable that isn't quite like anything else on the market. The Universal Cable for Apple Watch includes a built-in Apple Watch fast charging puck along with two USB-C connectors.

Priced at $100, the 1.5 meter cable is able to charge an Apple Watch and another device like an iPhone or iPad at the same time. It is a 100W USB-C PD cable, so it provides a small amount of power (8W) for the Apple Watch with the rest (92W) distributed to the other device that's plugged in. 100W is enough to charge even Apple's 16-inch MacBook Pro, as long as you have an appropriate power adapter.

The Apple Watch end of the cable can be plugged in at a power adapter or it can be used for device charging, so there are two layout options to choose from. Apple's most recent AirPods can charge from an Apple Watch charger, which adds more versatility. Note that transfer speeds are limited to USB 2 because the cable is designed for charging rather than data transfer.

The cable has a double-braided Kevlar outer weave and it uses electroplated metal connectors for durability. There's also an integrated silicone cable tie to keep the cable neat even when traveling.

The Universal Cable for Apple Watch can be purchased from the Nomad website for $100.

A HUNDRED DAMN DOLLARS FOR A CHARGE CABLE‽‽‽?

I bought a whole 99Wh power bank with built in Apple Watch charging puck, Qi charging section, and 100W USB-C output port for less than that.

The best solution would be that Apple makes change to Watch charger as a separate puck with female USB-C port. With which I can carry around the small puck along with my universal USB-C cables and be able to charge any devices I want.



Simple concept, and Apple would love to make smaller packaging, right? This will help.

It definitely isn’t like anything on the market at that price.

Anything designed to use a USB-C connector as structural support is just looking for trouble. Too much opportunity to break the connector, or worse, damage the port it's plugged into (they show this directly plugged into phones and such on their website).

I think this Nomad design is poor, unusually for Nomad. If I plug this into a wall outlet, the watch is then hanging off a magnetic puck which isn't really that magnetic. My Ultra 2 with strap is heavy enough that it would likely fall off. Unless Nomad's puck is REALLY magnetic. If it's anything like Apple's puck, the magnets are mostly for alignment, not for support. The watch charging puck needs to be at the other end of the cable so that I can put the thing on a table or something like that, along with the phone.
