A Clever Magnifying Orb for the Apple Watch in Nightstand Mode

NightWatch is closer in size to an actual alarm clock

By Rain Noe - July 2, 2021

in Object Culture

Here's a clever product idea, aimed at Apple Watch owners who use the Nightstand Mode: NightWatch. It's just a single piece of acrylic that accepts the standard Apple Watch charging cable at the rear, and provides a groove for the watch to rest in while charging. The entire front of the object is spherical, magnifying the face of the watch towards something approaching an actual alarm clock.

To wake the screen, you tap the object, the same way you'd tap the watch. And the manufacturer says that the "integrated sound channels amplify your alarm so you'll never miss a wake up call again."

NightWatch is compatible with all Apple Watches and runs $60.

I don't have a watch, but this is a cool idea. Actually, it would have been cool even in analogue days. Great work!

  Those have existed since pocket watches.
  There were stands, some of which featured a magnifying glass.
