Watch Series 2 and who upgraded to the iPhone XS \/ Series 4 this year only to find out that for some unknown infuriating reason, Valet will NOT charge iPhone XS \/ XR.<\/p>\n<p>So, I started looking for alternatives. Link to the Valet: https:\/\/www.belkin.com\/us\/p\/P-F8J183-APL\/ ($129)<\/p>\n<p>Nomad&#8217;s wireless base station is $99.95: https:\/\/hellonomad.com\/products\/base-station-hub and wirelessly charges the iPhone &amp; Apple Watch and will support the AirPods wireless charging as well (no way to know for sure but that&#8217;s their claim).<\/p>\n<p>I was waiting for AirPower but there&#8217;s a few reasons why I purchased now. <br \/>1. This is black with Leather and aluminum. It&#8217;s more premium than AirPower<br \/>2. The AirPower won&#8217;t work with the Stainless Steel Link Bracelet which is the only Apple Watch band I&#8217;ve used since Series 0 and I need the watch charger to be upright and not built into the base because you can&#8217;t unhook the link bracelet like you can other bracelets.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some photos:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;Belkin Valety versus Nomad Edition Base Station&#039;
