My Orzly stand finally arrived today after being on pre order for so long. I have also seen the Griffen one and also the Spigen one. Here are my opinions:-

The Spigen one is beautiful looking but doesn't stay still due to the weight of the watch and the guy that i saw using it made a joke about how he uses a 20.00 paper weight to hold it down

The Griffen one doesn't look so nice but is very functional and its the only stand that i have seen which totally hides the cables. It also holds your phone as well. I think they need to make a aluminum version

The Orzly one, I cant praise it enough. The cables fit in neatly, it holds the watch beautifully and also holds the iphone as well. I dnt know why manufacturers have made stands just for the watch, no one wants so many stands on there desk. Most of all it looks gorgeous next to my Apple I mac.
I will upload some images of this stand here after work 2mrw

Got my Spigen too (from Amazon). Not bad for $20. I still may get the HiRise, and if I do, I'll leave this at my partner's place.

(I had also ordered an extra cable 1m so there's less cord clutter on my desk).

Actually good tip on the cable. #

I have had the Spigen for close to a week. No issues at all. Yes it's light but when the watch is on its held down nicely. Also rubber feet on underside have a great grip. For the price of it there really in no contest out of what I have seen so far.

Not particularly fond of any stand that "hides" the watch off to the side or behind something else (notably an iPhone). I do however agree with the multiple device type stands as being preferable. I'm waiting for the W3 and in the meantime use the Spigen.

Did you order it from Amazon or somewhere else? Amazon still says pre-order.

I have the inexpensive "T" stand pictured/mentioned multiple times here. I got it for under $10, so it'll do for now, but everyone's complaints are valid. I would like something for watch and phone eventually, but waiting it out to see some reviews, especially given the price of some of the stands.

Fuz Dock looks pretty cool and simple which is what I'm after. Did they come back to you?

Sorry, forgot to post what Fuz said. Fuz emailed and said that they have tested the dock extensively and their is no problem with the watch falling off the dock.

Based on that representation I placed and order. The dock shipped a few days ago and I'm waiting on delivery (which is probably going to be a week or so to get to Australia).

Thanks, if you get chance will you post up some pics + your thoughts after you've tested it. Cheers ;)

I just ordered mine I like this one best. Lets hope it ships in the next few days.

I like that but don't care for the wood. You can get Silver or Black on the base but they both come with the wood. We all have different bedroom sets or what not where we would charge at night and that wood doesn't necessarily go with everyones.

Also not sure how well that it holds the watch with a link vs. a sport band. The room at the bottom to feed the band under seems very small. And you have to slide it in, possibly scraping or scratching a link against the metal of the base.

Great overall look though.

Not sure if this counts but found this phone and watch dock made by another forum user, metacove1. I'm really happy with the quality of the dock. It has grooves at the bottom of the base to keep the cords in place assuming, you're using original charging cables (for your phone at least). I have a third party cable and it's too thick to fit in the grooves. Other than that, I'm really pleased with it.

My Spigen arrived yesterday and I'm very happy with it. The stand is very light and with the cable inserted it weighs around 80 grams. But when the watch is attached it's very safe and the magnet holds the watch very well.

I've followed this thread for a while but haven't seen a stand that seemed like a total slam dunk to me. Here's what I would want from an ideal dock:

1. Small footprint
2. Docks both watch and phone, with the phone being vertical
3. Not too much vertical height beyond the height of the iPhone
4. Has one cable out, not two cables you have supply yourself
5. Costs $60 or less

The closest in design I've been able to find is the Night Stand on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/343524485/night-stand

But the cheapest version is currently $91 after shipping! :eek: And it also uses multiple cords.

I would love to find a stand with that kind of design but just one cable out and for a cheaper price. Anyone know of any stands like that?

Ordered the HiRise for Apple Watch direct from Twelve South on Monday night and it arrived in the UK this morning. Amazing. Pics here and I'll update when I'm able to fully set it up (I'm at work and don't have a charging cable right now).

Lots of good stands. Something I do NOT understand is why anyone would by a stand that makes the watch sit sideways. How the heck can you read it easily.

I've ordered the Fuz Dock for $20 because it can be used by itself or with the EverDock. I already have the EverDock Duo holding my iPhone & iPad so it'll be very nice to have watch stacked right behind them on the same dock. I really like the dock because it's Space Grey aluminum to match my devices and has a microsuction pad on the bottom to firmly hold the dock so I can grab the iPhone or iPad with just one hand.

The watch doesn't remain lit while charging, so the orientation isn't that important (for me). My eyesight is poor, so I would just grab the watch off the stand if I wanted to read the time at night. A horizontal stand would be a little better because it's less likely to be knocked over.

I just put in an order for the Orzly stand on Amazon. It doesn't have one cable out but it's compact and cheap and holds my phone and watch without too much vertical height. It looks like the shipping may take a while so if something better comes along I can always cancel.
