Thanks for the link. That one looks fantastic to me...perfect for my bed stand. I like that I won't need to buckle the strap plus there's nothing to scratch the watch.

I ordered one and got a 15% discount for it being my first time order from Dodo.

They also have a (rather pricey) wooden watch stand.

This may be premature, but does anyone know if there will be an option to have the clock face stay on when the watch is charging? I pre-ordered the DodoCase stand and I'd love to be able to have it on my nightstand as a clock replacement.

I emailed Nomad about the possibility of their stand scratching the back of the watch. Their response:

The anodized aluminum is a softer hardness, and therefore, should not scratch the watch.

Interesting. I've tweeted and emailed them on the topic but haven't received a response. And while their response to you is promising, I remain skeptical. Some sort of soft-touch "paint" might be helpful. Or a thin silicone sleeve.

Just ordered this direct from Spigen for £14.99 including delivery in the UK. When things settle down I can look at others but just now for this price point it's a no brainer in my opinion.

Thanks for the tip, I've just ordered one too. Looks quite nice, but the price makes it even better!

You got the link? Only one I can find is £17.99 and dispatched from another 3rd party company :rolleyes:

Scratch that I found it, thanks anyway

I just realized that I don't want to clasp and unclasp my watch every night and morning just to take it off the charger so I think I'll pass on the stands and get the pod.....also anyone still have a %30 off code? thanks

Whether you need to open the band or not would depend on the charging dock.

I backed a Premium One W3 last night. I figure I can afford to wait since I have the Spigen one coming soon. Hoping since they made 4x their goal, the Premium One won't see any delays.

For Nomad Stand, I used the FRND25 code which gives you a 25% discount. It should still work. :)

Even if you can I guess I wouldn't recommend it. As it is an OLED it might have a rather short life expectancy.

This is less than $10 dollars in wood. Solid oak too ;) A few coats of stain and some polyurethane and it'll be ready. Need the charging puck to cut the final hole.

That self-made wooden stand is awesome, nice work!

I just pulled the trigger on the Spigen from Amazon, decent price compared to some of the other stands available.

Yooo!!! That looks legit!!!

Do you accept paypal and ship to ny?!
Great job though!!

Thanks for the compliments everyone. The stand has been something to help pass the time that is going ridiculously slow. Will the apple watch speed time back up again ;-)

Love it!

Thanks a lot for backing us. Yes, we still got 7 days to go and already got funded over 400%. Already planning on production and we will start shipping in June.

Here is the link again for those of you who haven't seen it:

Hey,
Great Job, congrats.

I am watching project ideas like this and its amazing what great ideas are showing up.
Got something in mind to establish a creative platform for this kind in future ...

We are running a great campaign on KS at the moment and what I love most is to communicate with people from all over the world. Will definitely miss that after the campaign has ended

Thanks for posting the pics. My husband does some woodworking & I've shown him what you posted & asked if he can make one, too. He thinks that he can.

Apple Watch Stands... pics and links inside

Does anyone know if the Nomad Stand is still on track to ship out starting the 30th? I'm not seeing any advertising of that date on their site like there used to be!

On another note it is frustrating that now there is a 25% off code when before I could only find a 22% off code, why not have one code with one % discount. It's not that it's a huge $$ difference it's more just the fact of the matter.

I just checked my cart and it still shows April 30th ship date.

I used the 25% off code but a it annoyed there was a 40% and 30% also. Oh well...
