Best nightstand mode stand for AW (series 4 compatible)

[ssledoux]

Title pretty much says it all - looking for an inexpensive, but decent option to put my watch in nightstand mode. Suggestions?

Do you mean a charging stand for Apple watch?

Yes, but one that will let it charge in nightstand mode, so I can use the clock and alarm.

Got it, wanted to be sure I understood what you were asking I'm using an AW 4 44mm and before that an AW 2 42mm, these work with both. I'd suspect them to work with the 38 and 40 versions as well.

I have experience with two and would recommend either one.

The second is a little taller than the first. Something to keep in mind depending on the height difference between your bed and night stand.

Also, the first has a grippy material on the bottom which comes covered up so you can opt to use it or not. The second one has smooth pads on the bottom and does not grab a smooth surface well, that is it will move around on you. You can fix that by adding some small adhesive rubber pads.

I recommend the Orzly (black, right) over the Elevation Lab (blue, left). They are both less than $10 on Amazon.

Luckily apple has now allowed the nightstand mode to be done in both portrait mode as well. No longer restricted to landscape, so there are a lot more options. I use the one by Nomad.

IMO, Apple's own dock is without peer: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/...db60e641e91ef7161a081d676a3fb02abbed6e20e32cb
