I wanted to ask for some opinions on MagSafe charging. I have the iPhone 16 pro and Apple Watch SE. I see a lot of options. I don’t care about fast charging, as I plug my phone in to my car for music, my watch I charge in the morning before work or after I get home. Would be nice if I didn’t have to spend a lot. Would like something with a decent wall cord length. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

I use this and charging on the phone isn't super fast, though my apple watch and earbuds charge quite quickly (BTW the whole charger needs about 20W from the wall) GEEKERA Charger for MagSafe, 3 in 1 Wireless Charging Station for iPhone 16/15/14/13/12/Pro Max, Magnetic Charger Stand for Apple Watch Ultra-2, Multi Travel Charging Dock for AirPods Pro 2-2-Black: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

I'm a big fan of Belkin's gear. Not the cheapest, to be sure, but it's well-designed and ticks all the boxes. Their "3-in-1 Magnetic Foldable Wireless Charger"  (not the most elegant name, I know) is awesome as a nightstand or desk charger; there's also some solid MagSafe car mounts.

Yeah thats the issue. Dont want to spend a ton right now. I might instead look at one of those holders that you mount the watch charger to. And use that for a time.

Ended up buying those instead. 1) I didnt have any chargers that had USB C ports, so now I do. The second item I can mount my watches charger in and it will be better than the charger living on the floor as it does right now. IM going to need to do some cable management as well.

UGREEN is one of the more trustworthy brands out there, so I'd call those good choices. Sorry, I should've been more cost-conscious with my selections!

No problem. The charger I chose should be able to handle my MacBook Pro as well, so it was a good choice.
