Having fairly recently got my first Apple Watch (an 8), I realise that I'd like to have a charger that I can more or less leave in the car. For when I forget to charge the watch before going out.

I'm used to fast charging so would probably at least prefer that. And I have both USB-C and USB-A available in the car.

But for occasional use, I don't even go out every day, let alone also fail to charge it, I really don't want to pay full Apple price.

So, any suggestions for such a beast? I've seen far too many which look great - but as you go through the reviews you end up dismissing for a variety of reasons. Not fast. Starts smelling of burning. And lots of other failure modes. Or not actually available in the UK - but sent from abroad. (Brexit has caused so many issues with importation, I tend to avoid anything that isn't already here.)

Well I am very unsure of what was available on ebay when I looked.

So have gone for a well known retailer and am saving £6.
And, unexpectedly because I didn't even look, I have a one month Apple Music and three month Apple TV+ subscription from that purchase. (Also Arcade & Fitness but they are of no interest to me.)
