Any suggestions for a cheap and good looking stand/dock for my new Apple Watch? :)

I backed this one on Indiegogo:

I really liked the way it looked.

They have a desk lamp that has the lamp, iPhone and watch stand that looks really good but I didn't wanna spend that much haha

How are your charging stands working out?

Now that the watches are out, I know that some of you guys got a charging stand. What did you get and how well does it actually work?

After trying out the charger in the store, I doubt the magnetic force will be strong enough to safely hold the watch for the steeply sloped stands.

Might want to be careful if the base of the stand has sharp metal edges.

I'm still waiting on my stand, but I've just tried holding the watch upside down by the charger and it stayed attached. Considering these stands are going to be holding the watches at a 45 degree angle the right way up, I'm sure they'll be fine.

This is something I'm concerned about as well. I ordered the NuDock. I hope it works ok.

I have a fairly steep sloped custom stand that holds just fine.
