Quick list
Best overall
Fast, compact, and supporting not just the Apple Watch but AirPods and your iPhone too, the Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station (Foldable 3-in-1) is as good as travel chargers for Apple Watch get. Taking advantage of speedy Qi2 MagSafe charging, it folds down to a tiny block, perfect for throwing into a bag.
Best folding
When you want to charge your Apple Watch, iPhone, and AirPods on the go, consider this clever folding charger. Lay it flat to charge all three devices together, put it in triangle mode to FaceTime, or fold it up to stow it. In our review, we raved about the Ampere Unravel travel charger's smart design.
Slimmest design
Though it's not advertised as a travel charger, our testing revealed that the Belkin Boost Charge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad is a great travel companion. Working not only with Apple Watch but AirPods and iPhones too, its near-flat profile makes slipping it into a case or bag really easy, and offers reliable MagSafe charging wherever you take it.
Best looking
Charge up your Apple Watch, AirPods (or other similarly-sized wireless-charging earbuds), and iPhone all at once with the mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger with MagSafe. We reviewed this incredible charger and were impressed by its fast charging capabilities. Everything you need is included: the charging cable, power adapter, and elegant carrying case.
Best for Apple fans
If you want the official solution, look no further than Apple's own MagSafe Duo Charger. Charge up your Apple Watch Series 8 or any other model and your best iPhone at the same time with this portable, fast charger. Note that a one-meter USB-C to Lightning cable is included, but the power adapter (wall charger) is not, so you'll need to purchase that separately.
Best with battery
The Journey AXIE is a fantastic option for those looking for a portable 3-in-1 charger. It has a clever and versatile design and a very nice travel bag. It's quite big for a battery pack but the design is well worth the trade-off. If you're looking for a charging solution while traveling that also doubles as a power bank then the AXIE is the portable charger for you.

Q&A
How do I charge my Apple Watch while travelling?
If you know that your destination has a power outlet, then just take your Apple Watch charging cable along with you. If not, then something with a built-in battery is a better bet, so that you can juice up your Apple Watch on the go.
