This is something I built until my Spigen stand arrives. I like it so much I might keep it. My son has a bin with over 2000 legos so I am sure he wont miss these 50 or so pieces. The Mini figures are the perfect size to hold the chord. I also have some other lego hooks for chord management. I went with the Star Wars theme. I usually tuck the watch band underneath so it looks more uniform. I plan on re-doing it at some point and using some Crazy glue so it doesnt come apart.

Can you post a pic with the strap undone and hanging down to see what it looks like as i know there no way im doing the watch up just to charge it :)

cheers

I received mine today. It only takes a few seconds to do up the strap and the watch looks much better on the stand when you do that.

Nomad has reconfirmed their shipping date as May 21. I received an email with photos of the finished stands. Looks much better than the pic sent with the delay notice.

I would love a great charging stand for the watch but I will probably wait and see how i use/charge going forward before buying one. Some nice ones out there though.

It's cool. The colors are a little bit funkier than other options, in a good way.

Those are very nice and the colors are fabulous! I particularly like the disclaimer: "*Does NOT include the Apple Watch or charger" :p

Can you post said pictures? I haven't seen any info about this.

*edit*

Here you are:

Not a fan of the new design with the cable showing next to the "puck."

Those of you who have Spigen Stand, is it robust quality? Does the stand actually feel strong and not wobbly?

I was about to order a Spigen stand until I saw that they choose to put that tacky etchings on it. They ruined an otherwise aestheticly pleasing stand. Now its a no-go for me.

I think the rubber backing behind the watch is great. I was referring to the writing on the bottom of the stand that is clearly visible. They should have put that on the underside.

I have no idea where you're getting that… I just received free shipping for 14.95 from Amazon ....it says right there free shipping

I live in Madagascar....can't believe they don't have ground shipping here!! It's just an island...not a different planet! :mad:


(In truth, I had expedia shipping clicked by accident, that is why shipping was so much. oh and Southern Cali :p)

Made a little modification to the watch case. Drilled a small hole for the USB to pass through and filled with white SURGU (a putty that drys as a rubber) that holds the charging attachment in place. Some feet on the bottom so that the case doesn't sit on the cable and I have a charge box that allows the lid to go back on for protection. Took 5 mins and cost minimal amount for some SURGU.

I took your idea for inspiration. Took a Dremel to mine...now I just need to get some feet like you have!
