IMHO artifex is one of the ugliest designs I've ever seen. There were so many gorgeous 3d models for the 45. Example: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2350473

I am waiting for someone to make one for the 2020 connected. Some even made an adapter for the 45 and apple watch stands, which opened a massive door for options.
The Artifex is so ugly IMHO.

If it’s ugly looking I won’t be buying. I too am waiting for a nice design with quality materials. If it’s made of plastic it’s a massive NO from me.
I had a leather charging stand made by SENA for my Apple Watch that served me well for years and looked great on my desk.

Honestly, here is something extremely similar to what I did. I simply just glued the charger with 1 dot of super glue to an apple watch stand. It looks fantastic, limitless options for stands (apple). I always have a secondary tag charger in my car if I ever need. Did it with tag 1,2 and now 3.

m.a.s.e This alu stand was my first Apple Watch stand. I gave it to my nephew and he still uses it. You are right, so many nice Apple Watch stands that can be converted to fit the Tag Connected Charger.
For the last few hours I’ve been thinking of making a stand and have a few ideas for the design. Might give it a go

That looks good..
My makeshift is just from an old Stand I had hanging around. It's not great but for the time being it will do.
Anything that keeps my watch from sitting on its side is better.

The search continues. If I spot something I will let you guys know.

There are plenty of really nice tag 45 3d models. The best one is the 45 adapter to Apple stands. And that solve all issues. I'm waiting for someone to create the 3d files for 2020 tag converter to Apple stand.

I'm happy to converts an Apple Watch Stand if you suggest one that might be worthwhile.

Cheers

Thanks guys, your making me think 😀 The tag to Apple Watch adaptor is a good idea. Is the tag gen3 Charger the same size as the gen1/2 Charger ?

No. It's smaller, otherwise we could easily use the same 3d printed adapter. It's different size.

I was thinking to put our Charging Puck directly on top of a stand and hold it down.
That's what I do. I just, super glued it nicely.

I think so ugly is quite harsh lol. I have their stand for the 45 and gen3. The 45 has always worked great and I bought that one as it's the only one that hides the charging cord and holds the watch at a decent looking angle to show off.also the only product that's fully finished, meaning it has rubber feet, and a microfiber type pad for protection. The other 3d printed one posted is hideous and super gaudy.

Need to remove the charger for travel

Yeah, understood. That's why I always buy a secondary charger

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you think it looks good, I'm happy for you 😀 IMHO it's not looking nice at all lol.

I was thinking to ask my AD for a spare Connected Stand that they use in store for display purposes.. Might get lucky.

Don't worry I have many other "issues" to work on in addition for this lol. Actually, after hand painting this stand it can look really nice!

Looking at the gen3 charging puck (is that what it’s called?) the cable is at a different angle and wouldn’t suit this stand. But good to see all these stands, it gives us ideas 😀
