There are a million battery chargers you can toss in your purse or pocket, but if you have an Apple Watch, you already know that the cables are ridiculously long. Instead, you'll love the Oittm Apple Watch Portable Power unit with its built-in Apple Watch charging device (yes, it's MFi certified) and plenty of power for your iPhone and other devices too.
Tech expert Dave Taylor of https://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ checks out the Oittm Apple Watch Charger and finds that it's great for that, but only good for any other purpose, as he explains.

got an Apple watch then this is the
0:02
portable charger you need Dave Taylor
0:12
here and this time of looking at
0:14
portable chargers again yes there are
0:16
million companies that make battery
0:18
chargers for your devices but this one's
0:21
particularly interesting this is from a
0:23
company that I pronounce item I don't
0:26
know how they're supposed to be
0:26
pronounced but it's a portable charger
0:29
with built-in Apple watch charging base
0:33
fanned arm tastic let's try it right out
0:36
all right so it's a five thousand
0:39
milliamp power which means you'll get
0:41
six full charges of your Apple watch or
0:43
two full charges of your iPhone and it
0:47
takes three hours to go from zero to
0:49
full so you can always top it up but all
0:52
of that whatever let's actually give it
0:53
a shot with my watch there's the nice
0:56
magnet to hold it and this baby is
0:59
charging I don't know how you can see
1:02
that but I'll show you a close-up it is
1:04
actually charging my watch which is that
1:06
apparently 79 72 percent so I can leave
1:11
my watch on here for example during a
1:13
lunch or something and it'll be charged
1:15
and ready to roll for a lot longer now
1:18
reality is that we would like to have
1:20
all these devices last forever and never
1:23
need charging it's not how it goes so
1:25
having this is really nice and this is
1:28
close to being the perfect portable
1:30
charger because I love the Apple watch
1:32
support the downside is it doesn't
1:35
actually have any built-in wires so has
1:40
USB on one side it has microUSB on the
1:43
other so that's all helpful even has a
1:45
button you can push so you can get the
1:47
status of how much charge is left but
1:50
still need to sort of BYOC bring your
1:53
own no BYO W bring your own wire now
1:57
lucky I have this little micro lightning
1:59
connector from Nomad so we can use this
2:01
in a pinch so I'm gonna slide this into
2:04
here and then we're gonna plug it into
2:07
my iPhone and let's see what happens my
2:10
iphone is charging so
2:13
rock and roll this thing's great I had
2:15
to add my own little cable but okay
2:18
that's fine five thousand milliamp hours
2:20
is plenty of juice and it weighs about a
2:23
third of a pound it's not insubstantial
2:25
but there's also all the wiring and
2:27
stuff involved with the Apple watch
2:29
obviously if you don't have an Apple
2:31
watch it does not make a massive amount
2:33
of sense for you to choose this versus
2:35
the many many other portable chargers
2:37
out there but good news this is MFI
2:41
certified so that means when I put my
2:43
watch on there I didn't get a note
2:45
saying this was an incompatible or
2:47
unsupported charger so that's super
2:50
important you don't want to just get a
2:51
third party you want to get an actual
2:53
honest-to-goodness Apple watch certified
2:56
charger via Apple now if you charge this
3:00
via the micro USB connections so again
3:03
you're gonna have to be y ou W right
3:06
bring your own wire for that now it
3:08
comes with a micro USB wire I mean my
3:10
god I must have hundreds of those little
3:12
micro USB connectors but you're still
3:15
gonna need to keep that in mind too so
3:17
there's not like a little thing that
3:18
pulls out and you plug it into the wall
3:20
so the next generation of this might be
3:22
a little more interesting with both of
3:24
those added but even like this this is a
3:27
pretty darn cool
3:29
portable charger like I said if you have
3:32
an Apple watch this is kind of a
3:33
must-have now before I tell you the
3:36
price I'm gonna ask you to go ahead and
3:38
click on the subscribe link and if
3:40
you're liking this video go ahead and
3:41
give me a thumbs up appreciate the
3:43
feedback and let's see so the item Oh
3:47
ITT M portable charger plus Apple watch
3:50
used to be a hundred and nineteen
3:53
dollars and I think they looked at their
3:54
competition and said wow Lucy for what
3:57
we're selling here so they dropped the
3:59
price way down at an Amazon you can pick
4:01
this up for 50 $6.99 and honestly if
4:05
you're traveling a lot and you really
4:07
want to be able to charge your watch but
4:08
you don't want that super long cord that
4:10
goes everywhere really clumsy this is
4:13
actually a great solution and I really
4:15
like that I can just drop my watch on
4:17
there and it's charging again notice
4:20
it's 70% apparently it lost 2% while we
4:23
were talking
4:24
go figure anyway this is definitely
4:27
worth checking out this is Dave Taylor
4:28
and I'll catch you in my next week
