Pricey new charger for iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods tempts with good looks [Review] ★★★★☆
- The Journey Nova 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station is a distinctive-looking device that can charge an iPhone, an Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously. Its two-tone design with white plastic and 'wood grain' looks quite good among white and natural wood decor. At $139.99, this charging station is expensive but is functional and looks stylish.
- The charging pad for iPhone doesn’t even have a target marking that says its a charger, which makes it a bit tricky to find. Although the faux wood finish adds a touch of warmth, it's synthetic. It’s an attention-grabbing statement piece that is pleasant to use and makes a distinctive addition to a minimalist workspace. It's easy to use, has fast charging for multiple devices, works on both iOS and Android products.
- The charger's charging speeds are decent enough; that of iPhone is 15 watts of MagSafe level charging, whereas that for the Apple Watch and AirPods is 5 watts each. The wooden finish, design, and pricing might not be to everyone's taste. However, if you prioritize a clutter-free and trendy charging solution, the Journey Nova might be worth considering.
- There is a 5W charging pad in the enclosure below, juicing up an AirPods wireless charging case, while a 5W Apple Watch charging puck is there at the back and can fold up. For those looking for a USB-C port for an extra device to charge via cable, the Nova doesn't offer one.
- With a few pros and cons, the Nova becomes an eye-catching and efficient charging solution that blends functionality and appearance together. Purchasing consequences may vary among users because not everyone may like the unusual design and faux wood finish, whereas others may value a clutter-free, efficient charging solution that doesn't sacrifice style.
- Overall, the aesthetic design and multiple fast charging capabilities on the Journey Nova make this wireless charging station an attractive addition to anyone's living space or office, provided that it fits into their budget and style.
- Journey provided Cult of Mac with a review unit of the product, and the reviewer states that, after spending a week with the device, he appreciates its combination of functionality and appearance.
