Belkin BoostCharge Pro Portable Fast Charger for Apple Watch retails for S$90 on Belkin Store on Shopee. During 7/7 double-digit sale days, the price dropped to S$73. After deducting the vouchers, I paid S$64. Shipping is the usual additional S$1.75 within Singapore.

My new house is being renovated, and I will have a niche in my carpentry near the entrance to house our Apple Watch chargers.

All the 3rd-party Apple Watch chargers I have now don’t support Apple Watch fast charging, which was announced alongside Apple Watch Series 7. That is why I decided to get the Belkin BoostCharge Pro for Apple Watch.

In the packaging, there are a bunch of booklets that are pretty much useless.

There are no chargers included. I have no issues using my own charger. I find it less wasteful if they don’t include a charger inside the box. These chargers can only charge one device at one time, wasting the space of a socket when it can be put to better use of charging multiple devices.

It comes with a built-in 1.2m USB-C cable that can be coiled behind to your preferred length.

Two colors are available, matte black and matte white. I chose white because it matches the aesthetics of my carpentry.

You can use this charger in two ways, laying it flat or using it like a nightstand.

If you are laying it flat, there is a precision dial at the charger’s base where you can control the height of the charging dial depending on the size of your Apple Watch. This is also useful if you have a case for your Apple Watch (though I am not sure why you are using your Apple Watch with a case).

The design is simple, and it feels light and plasticky. However, given the price, I would say the build quality of the Belkin BoostCharge Pro for the Apple Watch is acceptable.

I would still recommend getting this if you want a standalone dock that supports fast charging for your Apple Watch. I don’t think there is a better alternative yet.
