Whether you love or hate the Apple Watch, charging it is often one of the first encounters many users have with the magic of wireless charging.
Now that magic has been taken to the next level with a new kind of Apple Watch charger that mixes wireless charging with magnetic levitation.
The Lift is a wireless charger designed to work with the Apple Watch and the Pebble smartwatches, offering a cool way to recharge your wearable while enjoying what looks like a piece of museum art from the future.
Using magnetic levitation, a method that has become common for the latest, high-end Bluetooth speakers, the charging unit that holds your Apple Watch hovers over the charging base while delivering a charge to your device.
That same hovering charging unit can then be taken with you to serve as a backup charging solution when the battery in your Apple Watch runs low.
The charging device is being offered for $149 during the company's Kickstarter campaign, which has already blown past its $44,000 goal, and will sell for $199 when it's available outside of the campaign.
So is strapping your Apple Watch to a floating charger the quickest and most efficient way to give your smartwatch a quick boost? Probably not. But is it the coolest? You know it is.
