I was choosing between the Mophie and the Twelve South. I was able to look at them both yesterday, the Twelve South at Simply Mac and the Mophie at Best Buy. I decided on the the Twelve South. It seems to have the sturdiness I was concerned with. Also picked up a Twelve South HiRise for my iPhone. Like them both! (I had canceled my NOMAD order, and glad I did.)
Got a tip for us?

Yeh, sturdiness is a slight concern with the Spigen, the Mophie also doesn't look like it'd take much to tip over. Also, I'd be petrified (slight exaggeration) of the all-metal finish of the Nomad.
Too bad I'm not in the States at the moment, got to wait for international shipping from B&H for the HiRise.
I dug around in the loft for a temporary stand solution, but I'm actually so pleased with it I'm not going to bother buying an actual stand!
It's getting closer, a "his & hers":
I work at Simply Mac and it's the only Apple Watch stand we carry so far (Twelve South)! We just have the silver though. Wish I would have seen this sooner but I got the stand myself and I love it!!! Plus you don't have to worry about metal scratching on metal because all of the surfaces that would potentially touch the watch are either rubber or leather

Now it's ready for the finishing:
Decided on the Twelve South for both watch and iPhone! Very pleased, and Simply Mac is a nice place to shop!

I have the Orzly DuoStand, but I only have my two iPhones and the AppleWatch, so when I saw another poster on this forum had taken some great shots that demonstrated that the stand even works with an iPad, I thought it would be interesting to post them here, as his pics do it more justice. (thanks to jaysquires for originally posting these. -Taken from this thread https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/my-review-of-the-orzly-duostand-w-pictures.1889067/ )
To me the Orzly stand looks like someone took the Spigen design and put a couple of tabs on the side that you can set your iPhone there. (not crazy about the colour either). If it's supposed to be for charging your iPhone or iPad, why isn't there a spot to secure the lightning cable? It seems odd that the cable is still loose - doesn't seem (to me) that there's a lot of benefit to putting it there, rather than laying flat on my bedside table at night.
I just received my Dodo case, and am returning it. The good: well made, disk cutout is very precise and snug, and I like flat docks. Downsides are that the cable routing could be a lot better with two cables, and the posts pinch the cables tightly. Plus, the connection between the watch and charger was, oddly, less distinct than with the TwelveSouth HiRise stand. But the killer was that the cut out for the phone is too narrow. The copy say that it accommodate most cases. My iP6 with a Candyshell case does fit, but because the cut out is too narrow and the dock is angled forward when I use, the phone tends to just fall forward, which is a non-starter. Too bad, because otherwise a nice dock.

Got my dodocase today and took a few pictures. As I try to show in the last picture it can hold a sport band and pair of headphones in the underside, so should be useful for you travelers.

With apple now introducing bedside clock mode where your watch is on its side to show the time, are there any docks that take advantage of this? I want something like the dock I have for my moto360.
Thanks! That looks perfect, will wait until I receive my watch and determine if it's a keeper before ordering.
Tempting. The Night Stand really looks clever, and would be good for traveling. But...I've already banked on the big stand, so now I gotta suck it up when I travel.
As you don't have your watch yet, I think holding off is a great idea. I bet a lot of stand designers are going back to work today!
Tempted to buy the Night Stand. But since I live in the Netherlands it is 38 dollars with shipping. That's a bit too much for me.

they rasied the price by $3.00 but still a good deal.

I liked that. But to me it's useless since there is no holder for the charging cable for the iPhone. I can't just place the my iPhone in the dock and start charging.
There is no holder for the charge cable but it does slip under the slot just fine.. The pic I posted has both watch and phone charging.
I have one of these on order from eBay. I like the way that both the phone and watch are side by side
