Nomad's 'Pod Pro' is a portable charger that neatly hides iPhone charging cables while acting as a powermat for the Apple watch as well. The two-in-one charging device is a circular base that has a rotating center which wraps up the cord inside like a hose. Meanwhile, the device itself acts as a charging base for the Apple watch that simply needs to be placed on top to get juiced up.
The Pod Pro contains a 6000 mAh lithium battery that has enough power to charge both items twice over. While it is possible to simply charge both items via USB, the pod makes it easy to keep them in the same place, reducing the likelihood that you will forget one or the other. The pod is also compact and cordless so it is perfect as a portable charger for a getaway weekend.
