My dock looks a lot better with the apple watch on it
Looks Great!! Charge $75 and you'll undercut everyone else and make a fortune!
That W3 looks fantastic, and I hope their shopping estimate for the next batch (late August) is correct!
Yes indeed, I'm doing my happy dance today. The USPS made the exact opposite mistake today that UPS made last week. Even though my Premium One W3 stand required a signature, and my Deliveries app indicated that only a notification was left, the postman left the stand.
Plain box. Heavy! The whole thing was actually much smaller than I had somehow envisioned. Maybe because the concept is so BIG.

I carefully removed everything from the box and laid it all out. There is a double cord on the W3 so that there is only one cable with two usb plugs. You have to use your own Watch puck.

I started by putting my iPad Air 2 on the stand. It's heavy enough that it holds well even with only the iPad on. I quickly started adding everything else.
The angle of the watch mount allows the watch to hand without depending completely on the magnet. Of course, you can put your watch on sideways (in preparation for Watchos 2 with nightstand mode), and it holds fine. This may be a bigger challenge with a heavier band. But the magnet in the puck is fairly strong, so YMMV.

It's really a beautiful piece, and I'm still glad I backed it on Kickstarter and didn't go for any of the other offerings available. It's a bit pricey, but it's a work of art, and keeps everything in a small space.
I really love the concept and I cannot wait to order mine soon. Does everything charge pretty fast?
Charges the same as if you had everything plugged into its own adapters in the wall.
I received two W3 mahogany units. I love that the mahogany is a solid piece and not veneer. Overall I love them but there were issues. On both units ALL screws were loose. One unit had one screw that had come out. I found it in the box. The other unit had several screws that had come out and a small metal plate had come off. I suggest everyone remove the bottom plate and check all screws. My bottom plate screws were loose too. This is my first time posting photos so I hope it works. The images show the insides before repair. Note missing screws and missing plate to hold in rotating charging bar. Finally there is a picture of the unit with phone, iPad and watch.

So do the lightening cables plug into the box with USB's and that is the power supply box?
Correct. The W3 nicely has the iPad and iPhone cables acting as a single cable except that there are two USB plugs at the end. You supply the watch charging cable. Thus, two cables exit the stand but there are 3 USB connectors to plug in. The unit comes with a nice 4 port USB power supply with a wall plug that is appropriate to the country the unit will be used in. The height of the lightning connectors is adjustable to take into account different cases the devices might be in. They also rotate to accommodate different case back thicknesses. Rotate the lightning adapter forward, plug the iPhone in, and let it lay back on the vertical brace behind the lightning adapter.
They both do the same job in the end.
The Spigen doesn't try to hide the cable, it jets out of the side, whereas the Orzly has cable management that sends it out the rear, so looking head on you don't see the cable.
On the flip side, the Spigen has micro suction, and is lighter, and has a smaller overall footprint, so it may be better for travel.
Also the Orzly is the only one of the 3 that actually holds a stainless steel band properly, because it has the long back. The Spigen will work, but the band touches the table behind it.
They both have positives and negatives imo.
In the end I'll be using both, I'll have to decide which is better for travel, and which will stay on my bedside table.
The FUZ stand already won my computer desk spot.
The Trio:
And Jmona, yes it does bend slightly, but I don't think that has been the issue with frayed cords, I think it's constant bending/yanking that causes that.
Thanks for the info, helped me decide. I just ordered 2 of the Orzly ones for my wife and I.

More W3 thoughts:
The foot print of the W3 is perfect. The iPhone and watch are easy to dock. The iPad is more difficult and I find myself looking sideways at the W3 to see the slot on the iPad. This is a combination of the slope of the iPad Air 2 slot and my iPad case which has a wide opening in this area. I don't consider this a fault of the W3 and I am getting better at docking it.
You need to put tape over the opening on the bottom to keep the watch cord from coming out when moving the unit.
I may put thicker feet on the bottom since I like to keep the allen wrench taped to the bottom in case I need it for later adjustments.
All in all this is a great looking and compact way to charge you devices and it makes cable management easier too. I plan to use some white pull ties to strap the watch cable to the other cables.
The company is very responsive. I emailed my issues (see earlier post) and I got nothing but apologies and help. No BS. Responses were better than timely. They often came in the middle of the night right after I had emailed on an issue. This isn't a multi-thousand dollar device and yet it has come with great support.
I really like the look of the TimeStand if all you need is a charging stand for the watch. However, for an uncluttered nightstand changing station for all three devices, I haven't found anything I like as much as the W3.

anyone seen/have a stand that supports 2 AW? Would be nice to have one for both the ladies and I's watch if so.
Looks a little top heavy - how stable is it?I don't believe anyone posted this here yet - the TimeStand:
I just bought this one:

It works quite well, looks really sharp, is inexpensive, and holds any iDevice (even my iPad Air 2). The engineer in me told me to KISS (keep it simple stupid).
Attached are pictures from the listing.

just got what I was expecting to be the griffin watchstand in the post... only my wife must have missed the "knockoff" bit on the taobao page. Hello, "Stand for Aple Watch". It's actually exactly as I expected the watchstand to be, only without any griffin branding and without the spacer they include for the charger (which is fine, mine's the plastic one anyway).
Most importantly, it was a really good deal so I can't complain too much about the substitution - I only wish they'd spelled Apple correctly. Very hapy so far.

This is the one I've been waiting for! I received an email about this stand yesterday.
