The latest ESR Qi2-certified 3-in-1 MagSafe charging station promises to be an ideal all-in-one solution for Apple device owners. With excellent features, this charger provides fast, reliable, and convenient charging for your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods.

Design and build quality

The 3-in-1 Watch Charger has a thoughtful design and robust construction, making it an ideal accessory for any Apple user. The station features a MagSafe pad specifically designed for wirelessly charging an iPhone, providing a secure and efficient charging experience. A second MagSafe pad on the base is perfect for charging AirPods. A detachable wireless Apple Watch charger offers flexibility and convenience, allowing you to easily power up your watch at home or on the go. The latter uses a USB-C connection, so I have used it to charge my Apple Watch while connected to my MacBook Pro.

Constructed from textured metal and plastic, the charging station feels exceptionally solid and durable. This robust build quality gives it a premium feel that complements the aesthetic of Apple devices. The base of the station is equipped with four rubber feet, ensuring stability and preventing it from slipping on your desk or nightstand.

The overall design is functional and stylish, making the 3-in-1 Watch Charger a sleek addition to any setup while keeping your devices neatly organised and fully charged.

Certified fast wireless charging

One of the key features of this charging station is its Qi2 certification, which ensures a 15W MagSafe charging experience for your iPhone. This certification guarantees safer and more reliable charging at faster speeds, reducing the time you spend tethered to a power outlet. Whether you have the iPhone 15, 14, 13, or 12 series, it ensures your device charges quickly and efficiently.

Of course, while the charging station is primarily designed for iPhones, you can charge other devices, including Android phones, with a MagSafe-compatible case. I’ve used different MagSafe cases and adhesive rings with good success.

The charging base is ideal for charging AirPods and locks into the perfect position for optimal charging via magnets. However, it will also work with smaller Qi-compatible devices, from smartwatches to earphones.

MagSafe convenience

The Qi2 3-in-1 Watch Charger isn't just about fast charging but convenience and a tidy desk setup. It can power all three of your essential Apple devices simultaneously. The station supports MagSafe charging for iPhones, AirPods Pro/3/2, and the entire Apple Watch lineup, from the original Series 1 to the latest Ultra and SE models.

I found it ideal as a nightstand in the bedroom and office desk. Instead of several cables and charging ports, I could use a single cable that connects to a USB-C port on the back of the charging station base. You’ll need to use your power adaptor, as ESR doesn’t supply one in the box. Essentially, all you need is a power brick from 20W or up.

I found it a great solution for maintaining a tidy charging area at home, in the office, or while travelling. However, to further expand its capabilities, I would have appreciated an additional USB-C or USB-A port on the back. An extra out port would allow you to charge other devices with a cable, enhancing the station's versatility and convenience.

Certified for Apple Watch

ESR says the charger is designed for the Apple Watch and is officially certified, ensuring it remains compatible with every OS upgrade. This certification ensures that your watch will always receive safe and reliable charging, no matter how Apple updates its software. In 45 minutes, it charged my Apple Watch Series 9 from 21% to 79%.

Magnetic lock

The charging station's robust magnetic lock system has 1,000 grams of magnetic holding force, so your phone remains securely in place during charging. Thanks to the powerful magnets, there's a satisfying clunk as it connects to the pad. Even with the standard Apple case, it securely attaches and can be effortlessly rotated to either portrait or landscape orientation.

The iPhone charging pad is ergonomically tilted, providing a comfortable viewing angle for FaceTiming or watching videos while your phone charges. This feature allows you to continue using your phone for entertainment or communication without removing it from the charger.

Built-in magnets in the Watch charger and the AirPods charging pad ensure instant and secure alignment every time. This strong magnetic hold means you can interact with your devices while they charge without worrying about disconnections or misalignment.

Verdict

The ESR Qi2 3-in-1 Watch Charger is ideal for any Apple user. Its ability to charge multiple devices simultaneously and its fast and reliable charging capabilities make it an invaluable addition to any tech setup. The convenience of a clutter-free, organised charging station, combined with the portability of the Apple Watch charger, makes it highly recommendable.

ESR Qi2 3-in-1 Watch Charger is available in black or white for €65  ESR
