Some are basic and compact, while others are parts of larger stations. To help you find the right pick, we’ve compiled a list of the best chargers for the Series 7 model.

Our favorite Apple Watch Series 7 chargers
Personally, I love Belkin’s MagSafe 3-in-1 wireless charger because it simultaneously charges my iPhone, AirPods Pro, and Apple Watch. Instead of having several cables and chargers on your desk, you can use this minimalist charging station. It works reliably, and, in my opinion, it’s worth every penny. That’s not to mention the visual indicator which confirms that your devices are indeed charging. It also alerts you when something stops them from charging. It truly is one of the best chargers for the Apple Watch.
If you’re not looking for a charging station, then there are plenty of other individual cables that will charge your wearable just fine. Ultimately, you may also need a separate cable for when you’re traveling and carrying around a bulky station is inconvenient. In this case, you could go for official Apple Watch Series 7 chargers or pick from the third-party ones we’ve listed.
Apple Watch Series 7
$299 $399 Save
$100
The Series 7 costs as much as the Series 8. Only buy it if it’s notably discounted and you find the SE 2 too lacking in terms of included offerings.
