NightWatch for Apple Watch

The Apple Watch's screen is quite small, but when you put it in the NightWatch, that problem is solved immediately. This is a charger with a magnifying glass, which at the same time also amplifies the sound so that you almost certainly wake up. This makes your Apple Watch on the bedside table much more functional. You can still tap to wake up the screen, so you can see what time it is.

If you look at the back, the magic is immediately gone: it's just a piece of acrylic glass that's in a spherical shape polished. There is no charger included, so you will have to provide that yourself. And the function that the screen turns on when touched is already standard on the Apple Watch. Still, it's a cool idea that we haven't seen before. Especially the fact that the screen is a lot bigger and therefore easier to read is a plus. The “Integrated Sound Channels” also make your alarm clock sound a lot louder.

The NightWatch is not suitable if you use the new sleep functions of the Apple Watch, which were introduced in watchOS 7. In that case, you will prefer to keep the Apple Watch on your wrist.

If your Apple Watch is charging on your bedside table overnight, this can be a nice low-tech accessory. It will be released later this month and can be pre-ordered now for €41.95. There's still around €23,- in shipping costs, making it suddenly less interesting.
