Will you guys put it on your bedside table?

[AppleJuiceBox]

I'm just curious to see how people are treating the watch. Personally, I think the watch will definitely be my "most personal device" and I think it will be the most important device I use instead of the iPhone, but I feel like putting it simply on my bedside table is lame

Since it is a wearable device, I'm going to make of the small drawers (actually is a jewelry drawer) in my dresser as my Apple watch drawer were I but the watch to charge every night and were I keep all the bands.

How about you guys? How are you guys treating your device and where are you going to put it at night?

Just re read my post and it's weird I know...I'm just curious lol

Tonight is the first Watch night for me so i'm going to wear to see if Taptic can save me from my constant oversleeping and waking up my partner. If not, probably on the nightstand, with my iPhone relegated to a charging deck elsewhere.

 

[greytmom]

I put it on the table, next to iPhone, iPad and kindle.

Haha... adding to the total # of devices requiring daily charging

Now add MacBook to that list... oh my..

Everyday I charge my iPhone screen and speaker pointing at my bed (Night stand is right above my head.) I snuck the cord around the side of the night stand and then it goes parallel with my phone. Then when I charge the watch I plece the bland completely flat parallel with my phone with the bottom part of the ban laying on top of the charging cable. I don't know if any of this makes sense or not but I hope you can visualize this. And yes there may be a small amount of OCD with how I charge my Apple devices

I've been putting it on my nightstand with my phone ... charging them both. Waiting for a stand to arrive that is set up to hold both the watch and phone ...

My MBP is already on the charger.

I have never understood why people freak out about charging their devices nightly. I plug them all in before bed... takes less than 30 seconds. I brush and floss my teeth, too, although that takes longer.

When I get it it'll be charging on my nightstand next to my iPhone and iPad.

Not freaking out, just crazy noticing having so many things in life that operate on lithium battery.

I would much rather having one perfect device for all my needs.

I remembered how iPhone changed the world by combining multiple devices (phone, camera, MP3 player, PDA) into one, and now we are going the other way again.

Not really. Phones are still all that you mention.

Mine is currently being place on the nightstand. But that's only because this http://www.dodocase.com/products/apple-watch-charging-stand
hasn't shipped yet.

iPad: oh no, phone screen is too small, need a bigger device
Apple watch: phone is not convenient enough, need a companion device
iPhone: technically now it also includes a good enough camcorder and fitbit and good enough internet connectivity

Agree... the watch is a companion device for the most part. I really think that people are having a hard time seeing this device for what it is. This device may be a failure yet but I love it

 

[AlanShutko]

I have a leather charging station (vaguely like these) on my dresser, with four slots. I put my phone, an iPad if needed, and my watch on there to charge. I have another slot for my bluetooth earpiece, but it isn't charging anymore, so there's an empty slot.

Companion device... your argument that the iPhone replace a bunch of devices is correct. It does not, however, translate over in the manner that you applied it. I see what you are saying... simply that we are adding more devices when the iPhone eliminated so many.

Apple is missing out on a gold mine by not selling a charging caddy of some sort. I have wires all around my nightstand. I just had to install a power strip. That's ridiculous.

They could do so much better than this:

You are just buying into hype with those comments. If you really do only want one device that does everything (music, email, texts, notifications, camera, video, fitness and oh yes, phone) then you already have your answer.

I have good reasons for every device I own, and I enjoy them all. If that isn't you, that's ok.

Correct... iPhone was a breakthrough, it eliminated so many devices...

And we are slowly adding them back, in a different way.

Looking forward to the next breakthrough to reliably merge all my computing devices into one, that's not a laptop/desktop/tablet/phone/watch.

I have them all. see my comments above.

My watch is definitely a companion device, yet it also replaces and greatly enhances a device that I have used for several years in one incarnation or another: my FitBit. No way could my phone replace the Fitbit... Not nearly as wearable.

Between my Mac Mini and Thunderbolt display, I have enough outlets to charge my iPad, phone and now Watch. Ordered the Nomad stand as that is the closest to the Elago stands I have for my iPhone & iPad. The stand will fit just perfect under my display.
I am semi retired so have no reason for an alarm of any type next to my bed. I generally plug in my iDevices while I am working on projects before i go down and this seems to be sufficient time for them to charge before I shut down my computer.

Very nice as well!

Will you guys put it on your bedside table?

I don't like docking stations. Only because I end up wanting to play with my devices while they're charging. Obviously that's not possible while on a dock of some sorts. You ever wanted to use your phone or iPad,but have to wait for it to charge? It sucks...

I generally have my devices plugged in with a USB extension,so I can use them in bed.

With the AW I now have my iPhone,Apple watch,wireless beats,iPad Air and a PS3 controller plugged in on any given night.

So I cleaned out the top drawer.....added some brown felt....and bought a anker 50W 5 port USB charger. I mounted the anker with double sided tape. I was going to use glue for the felt,but used double sided tape. (By the way I did these same steps on the other nightstand for my soon to be wife...once she moves in it'll be ready)

Now I can charge all of my devices and still use them in bed if I wish. Or simply shut the drawer and you see no messy cords.

 

[Husher315]

Yeah, it will be on my nightstand, but I will get that really nice stand from Spigen when it comes out in May.

Well, I usually charge my iPad and iPhone during the day at the office. My Watch charges at night, for now at my working desk at home in my living room, since my bedroom has a dearth of outlets (it's an older building). Once I get a power strip for my bedroom it will move to my nightstand.
