Review: Belkin's Latest 3-in-1 Charger is Ideal for Apple Watch Series 7 Owners

[jaybar]

I never had problems charging my Apple Watch with Milanese loop on the side. It’s essentially the same as charging a Watch with the solo loop, the weight difference doesn’t have a noticeable impact when charging it

@fwmireault Do you use the Apple supplied charger?

I used it for a few times. It is for sure more convenient on a charger where the puck stays straight, but it was working fine to charge my watch even with the Milanese loop. I use the Belkin 3-in-1 now

@fwmireault i have no need for the Belkin 3-1 as I don’t have, nor will I purchase AirPods. Would you suggest I continue to use my MagSafe Duo, which works great, except it does not fast charge the Watch. I generally charge at night, but sometimes I like to fast charge on occasion.

If you like to fast charge only on occasion, I’d keep the MagSafe Duo and keep the included Watch charger for the few times you need fast charging. MagSafe Duo is still a great and very portable charger

Yep, that’s in. Both of mine are the white color though. Yeah, I’m really struggling to figure out who would prefer the form factor of this new one over the one we have.

I much prefer this design. The phone lies flat (which is what I want) and it doesn't remind me of dental equipment.

The AirPods indicator light went off a couple of times for less than a minute, but it has been on 99% of the time. And the Airpods case and the buds inside get a lititle too warm for my comfort. The base under AirPods gets very warm too, so I know its charging.

Is this charger suppose to stop charging when the AirPods Pro are fully charged? My Apple MagSafe puck stops charging the Airpods case when its fully charged. I’m going to leave my iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods on the charger over night. If anything is still charging in the morning, if anything is hot, than I’m returning the entire charger.

Is anyone else having similar issues with AirPods? I am considering buying the Belkin charger bit given the price I would expect it to work flawlessly ...

On a side note, maybe it is because the coils are too small, but in my experience wireless charging of AirPod Pros isn't great in general. On another charger I also have issues with them getting very hot and even sometime losing charge when they are on the charger for too long.

I can confirm the case of the AirPods can become very warm after a few hours, but it's not systematic in my case. It depends probably how well the coils are aligned, but the majority of time, the amount of heat seems reasonable. But there's still moments where the AirPods case become very hot. I never had issues with the charging itself that said, my principal concern is heat
