In today’s Apple accessory landscape, it seems to be getting harder and harder to make a product that has not been made before. There are so many brands, so much competition and only so many types of accessories that are needed. But all that competition ends up being great for the consumer because it forces brands to think outside of the box. That is exactly what Nomad did with their new Universal Cable for Apple Watch. Again, I have never seen a cable look like this or do what it does.
Of course, we’ve heard of USB-C PD cables, and I have even used Apple Watch charging pucks that can attach directly to an iPhone, iPad, or Macbook. But Nomad took a unique approach and integrated and embedded a fast-charging Apple Watch puck into a high-quality Kevlar-grade cable.
These are the key specs to note:
- 100W USB-C PD Charging Cable
- Fast charges iPhone, iPad, and MacBook
- Integrated Apple Watch Fast Charger
- 1.5m cable with a Kevlar outer weave and electroplated metal connectors
- Integrated cable tie for cable organization
As you can see in the pictures above, you basically get a 1.5m cable (about 5ft long). One end has an Apple Watch puck with a USB-C end, and the other looks like a normal high-quality cable. The single cable can charge two devices at once, which is great. This would also pair great with Nomad’s 65W power brick with Apple Watch charger because that will allow you to charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at once and on the go.
What’s cool about this cable is that it seems to default to the power source that gives the most wattage. In the video below, the CEO of Nomad, Noah, showcases that if you plug the Apple Watch side into an iPhone, the iPhone will charge the Apple Watch, and you can even plug in your AirPods on the other end to get them to charge as well. But the moment you plug the other end into a MacBook or other larger power source, it will reverse the charge and still charge the Apple Watch, but now the iPhone will be charging as well.
Overall I think this is a great accessory to add to the tool kit. It is well-made, multifunctional, looks great and has a ton of use cases.
