On the back is a shiny metal Apple Watch fast charger.
Its not a complicated product, but its personality is in the details.
For example, its rooted in being small and unobtrusive.

I liked its small footprint and gaining more space on the surface next to my bed.
The unit does have some heft to it, but I wouldnt call it heavy.
I found its weighted base to be a good mix of functional without being unnecessarily overweight.

That, combined with its anti-slip material underneath, kept it from sliding around my nightstand.
There are compromises from it being as tiny as it is, though.
The Apple Watch charger jets out from the back and doesnt fold or move.

The integrated cable measures five feet long.
The top charger will work for any Qi-compatible rig in its flat position.
That includes any AirPods with a wireless charging case.

But if you have the newest AirPods Pro 2, those will actually charge on an Apple Watch charger.
So you’ve got the option to charge your iPhone and AirPods Pro 2 at the same time.
There are plenty of 3-in-1 charging stations Ive lovedones fromTwelve SouthandNomadcome to mindbut you also dont need one.

A 2-in-1 charger is great.
The wireless charger comes in charcoal or sand colors.
What About the Other Belkin BoostCharge Pro Chargers?
Tyler Hayes / How-To Geek
Belkin makes solid products but needs to work on its naming schemes.
Those old models are still solid stands Ive used over the last couple of years.
But the new 2-in-1 charging dock is just better.
Those previous ones were bigger with a larger footprint.
Plus, if you wanted an Apple Watch charger, you needed the biggest, more expensive 3-in-1 unit.
Should You Buy the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 2-in-1?
The most obvious objection to theBelkin BoostCharge Pro 2-in-1is its $129.95 price.
Its not cheap, on its own or compared to other multi-gadget chargers on the market.
It might not have three charging spots, but it has the optimal amount, and they worked great.
