Spigen has expanded its Classic C1 lineup of Apple accessories with a playful new charging stand for the Apple Watch, modeled after the iconic iMac G3. The compact design replicates the beloved desktop computer’s colorful aesthetic while serving as an overnight charging station.
Color Options and Pricing
Available now on Spigen’s website for $34.99, the stand comes in four hues: tangerine, graphite, ruby, and the iMac G3’s signature Bondi Blue. The affordable price makes it an appealing impulse buy, though buyers should note it doesn’t include a charging puck—users must thread their existing Apple Watch cable through the stand’s front slot and out the back.
Design and Compatibility
The stand features a non-slip silicone base to prevent sliding and a translucent colored plastic back. Spigen confirms compatibility with Apple Watch models dating back to Series 4, including both SE generations and the Ultra 1 and 2.
Blending Functionality with Nostalgia
This release continues Spigen’s trend of merging practical tech accessories with nostalgic design elements. Earlier products in the Classic C1 series included iPhone and AirPods cases inspired by the iMac G3’s vibrant color palette. The Apple Watch stand takes this concept further by recreating the entire computer silhouette in miniature form.
User Experience Considerations
While the stand offers a unique aesthetic appeal, potential buyers should be aware of its functional limitations. The need to use an existing charger means users must carefully position their watch on the charging puck each night. However, the stable base design helps ensure proper alignment for consistent overnight charging.
