Nomad has now officially introduced the Base One Max, a two-in-one charger that allows you to charge both your Apple Watch and your iPhone, the latter via Apple's MagSafe.
This new combo charger is the company's second to embrace MagSafe. The Base One came out as a single charger but came with a particularly high price tag. The Base One Max is a more enticing offering with two chargers in one. The Nomad Base One Max is basically a larger version of the Base One MagSafe charger. It's made from the same materials, comes in the same colors - carbide and silver - and is licensed by Apple. The MagSafe puck sits on the right side, while the Apple Watch puck is placed on the left.
Two-in-one charger for iPhone and Apple Watch
There's enough room for even Apple's largest iPhone. There's a single USB-C port on the back. It's located in the middle, right behind the MagSafe module. The MagSafe module lets you charge your iPhone at up to 15W, while the Apple Watch Puck has 5W. A power adapter is not included. So Nomad continues the trend of many companies shipping chargers without power adapters. You'll need at least a 30W charger to charge both devices at full speed. Thankfully, Nomad includes a color-matched USB-C cable wrapped in nylon for durability.
Nomad Base One Max: AirPods can also be charged
Aside from the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 series, MagSafe can charge any Qi device, albeit at a lower speed. An iPhone without MagSafe can be charged at up to 7.5W. Of course, you can also charge your AirPods. Nomad's Base One Max has a zinc alloy core and an anodized aluminum body.
The Apple Watch Puck is mounted horizontally, allowing your Apple Watch to lie on its side. This makes it an excellent companion for nightstand mode. It's also fully compatible with many different watch bands. Anyone interested in the new accessory can order it starting today from Nomad's online shop for $149.95. (Image: Nomad)
