We tested the charging base for the Apple Watch and iPhone from Oittm [Review]

In today's market for accessories for the Apple Watch, iPhone, Mac and other devices that we use every day, there is a great deal. In this case, the product we want to talk about today is a charging base for the Apple Watch and the iPhone.

It is a base with a worked design and with construction materials at the height of the products for which it is intended, among which aluminum stands out. Oittm is one of the accessory brands for Apple Watch, iPhone and other devices that has a long history in the market and that is why they know well what users need in this regard.

The Oittm charging dock

In this sense, it must be made clear from the beginning that we not only have a charging base with the option to add an Apple Watch and an iPhone. The Oittm base also adds three USB type A ports on the back that allow a total of up to 5 idevice to be charged at the same time. We can use the base for all our devices: the Apple Watch (both the 38 and the 42mm), the iPhone, the iPad mini, the Apple Pencil, the Siri Remote of the Apple TV or even the iPod Touch, and we also have those three more ports in the rear.

What we find in the box

This is an important point since the charging base adds everything you need to except for charging cables. We do have available the cable that goes from the charging base to the electrical current, the base itself «with backrest» to place the iPhone, some rubber bands that allow us to place the iPhone with or without a protective cover (it gives more or less thickness to the Lightning) and a pair of velcro straps so that the charging cables do not get bundled inside the base.

The base has a cover that can be removed whenever we want and that is where the cables that allow us to charge our idevice are kept. In this sense, apart from the USB that we have in the back, all cables will be collected.

Design and manufacturing materials

This is important for everyone and it is a charging base that will be visible to everyone, so the design has to be beautiful and functional. In this sense we have nothing to object since the Oittm base has a very good design. Its measurements are 20 x 9 x 3,7 cm and the cPower rating is: 110-240V AC. AC Frequency: 50 / 60HZ / Output: DC 5V / 2.4A (Max)

On the manufacturing materials we find aluminum for the bottom and ABS fire resistant in the rest. It is true that in this sense it may seem a bad thing, but it is better not to damage the Apple Watch itself or the base while charging. The part where the devices are placed is made of plastic. Also add some rubber bands at the bottom of the base so that it does not slip on the table. The manufacturer (like many others) advises us to unplug the base when we are away from home for a long period and in this way avoid problems.

Price

About the price we can say that it adjusts to the quality of the base in general and right now we can find it in Amazon for 34,99 euros including shipping. Oittm has a long history creating accessories like this aluminum base and without a doubt this is noticeable in the product. The truth is that we are facing a really recommended and fully functional base for those who want to charge the Apple Watch on the nightstand.
