I'm at work now so can't measure the exact height, but it's definitely not as tall as it looks on Griffin's site. I too wish there was something to deal with the iPhone cable - I was tempted by the dodocase dual charging dock - http://www.dodocase.com/products/charging-dock-organizer-for-iphone-and-apple-watch - but I think it will take up more room and it's expensive. Also, stands with a slot for the iPhone often block the view of the bottom edge of the iPhone, which would be a problem for my clock app - it's called Red Clock.
Got a tip for us?

I have it and have absolutely no worries about slipping. My charger is very secure on the watch on its own - I can hang the watch from it. Also, the top of the Griffin stand that surrounds the charging puck is a ridged, grippy rubber, and it's on a 45 degree angle. Also, if you fasten the watch band before putting it on the stand, the back of the band holds it in place too.
I was received my Griffin Watchstand yesterday and put it to the test last night. I woke up to sadly find my battery didn't charge. I had noticed the screen would turn on randomly every 5-10 minutes for a while but didn't think anything of it. I will try pushing up the magnet a little but more tonight in case it was possibly losing a connection.

Can the watch stand rotate 90 degrees to the iPhone stand? There is a promo pic that shows this. If so, can it rotate in either direction?
Yes, it can be rotated in 4 directions - facing front, back, left or right.
Looks interesting, I ordered one last week. Supposed to be here on Saturday according to UPS. I found that somehow the first night the watch disconnected from the charger and it ran on battery all night.
Hopefully this will eliminate this from happening again, as well make a good spot so I accidently don't knock it off the charger for some reason. I also intend to use the phone stand as a clock, due to the angle.

Just got confirmation that it's shipped and will arrive next Friday. Won't be my permanent solution but good till the main one arrives.
Wednesday on the social deal... It said one to two weeks... Shipped a lot faster.

Turn it
I went back and re-wrapped the cord less tight than I had the first time which allowed me to basically move out the charger until it was flush and haven't had any charging issues. the charger will recess far enough into the stand to where it may cause an issue, losing connection frequently.
Thanks for the pics, I can see where the depth could be a problem, but it probably is for the plastic and metal charger differences.
I did it at 3AM last night. Could've been neater had I been more awake. I made a 1" slit on the back of the plastic stand so that way it comes from under the base and out the back of the tower. The tower is still tight on the base and I can pull as much Lightning cable as I need through the it.
I've also emailed Griffin to see if they can implement that in a future revision of their product.
