Oittm 2-in-1 Apple Watch Car Charger Charges Both Watch and iPhone

It’s nice to be able to charge your Apple Watch on the go. The charger that comes with the Apple Watch, with its extra long cord, is not the most portable. Many of us find ourselves in need of a second charger.

Enter Oittm’s 2-in-1 Apple Watch Car Charger. It has a built-in charging disk for the Apple Watch. It also has a USB port, so you can simultaneously charge your iPhone or any other device that charges with a USB cord.

I tested this out a number of times over the past few weeks. It charges both my Apple Watch and my iPhone effectively and efficiently. The angle at which the disk sits naturally is kind of odd, but that may be because my cigarette lighter port is at a 45 degree angle in my car. As a result, the watch is constantly switching between Nightstand Mode and regular mode, because it sits right about at the tipping point. The plastic that attaches the charging disk to the rest of the unit is flexible, so your experience might be different if your charging port is angled differently. Regardless of that weirdness, it’s still charging the whole time. The Oittm charger has a USB port but does not come with a cord. I used my own cord; the USB port works exactly as expected.

Oittm’s charger is not Apple MFi Certified, meaning it is not officially licensed by Apple. This may be a deal breaker for some people. I have not had any issues with overheating or anything else, and Oittm claims “protections against overheating, overcurrent and overcharging, Oittm car charger features super reliable and safe. Certified by RoHS, CE and FCC.” I like it and will continue to use it to charge both my Apple Watch and my iPhone. It’s up to you to decide if this is a worthwhile product for you.
