Retro accessories tend to borrow a colorway and stop. Spigen shrank the whole computer: the Apple Watch Classic C1 Charger Stand is a palm-size iMac G3 whose screen is your Watch, propped at the old CRT's tilt while it charges.
The tribute runs deep for a lump of polycarbonate. The front bezel is matte white with the G3's control buttons and floppy line pressed in below the Watch opening, and the rear dome goes translucent in classic flavors. Charging hardware is bring-your-own. The stand grips Apple's own puck, routes the cable through the back, and a silicone base keeps it planted. Compatibility spans the Apple Watch Series 4 onward plus the first two Ultras, and AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 cases dock there too.
What works
- Angled so the Watch face reads like the old CRT, an easy fit for Nightstand Mode
- Four translucent G3 flavors: Bondi Blue, Graphite, Ruby, Tangerine
- The cable exits through the rear shell, out of sight
What to know
- No charging puck in the box; it seats Apple's standard cable
- Polycarbonate and silicone only, nothing electronic inside
- It charges at whatever speed your own puck supplies
9to5Mac's Fernando Silva had one on the desk in July 2025 and found nothing to set up beyond seating Apple's puck and routing the cable. The C1 family now spans iPhone cases, a Mac mini shell, and this stand.
iPhoners with a spare charging puck get a nightstand object that doubles as a piece of 1998. Silva's summary covers it: "They literally took the iMac G3 and shrunk it."
