Decision:

I bought this as a gift for my partner who has a smartwatch, thinking it would solve our charging hassles. As a beginner with tech, I was excited about the magnetic part because I hate dealing with tiny ports, especially in low light. It does snap on nicely and stays put most of the time, which is a relief. But honestly, I'm a bit disappointed because it took some trial and error to get it to connect right every time—if it's not spot on, it doesn't charge, and that's frustrating. The length is good for moving around, and the extra adapter is handy for the desk. However, the basic cord feels flimsy, and I worry it might break soon. For the price, it's okay, but I expected better quality. It does the job, but not perfectly, and I'd only recommend it if you're on a tight budget and don't mind a few quirks. My pets even knocked it off once, but the magnet held up, so that's a plus! Overall, it's helpful but could be improved.

• Pros: The magnet is extremely strong and snaps into place easily, which is great for avoiding fumbles in the dark. I like that it works well with my watch and comes with extra bits like the adapter, making it versatile for different spots around the house. The length is decent, letting me use my phone while charging without feeling tethered too closely.
• Cons: After a bit of tweaking, I found the connection can be a bit finicky if not aligned perfectly, and the included basic cord feels cheap and might not last long. Most likely, it's not as durable as I hoped, and I'm disappointed it doesn't charge faster or have more options for other devices.
