Nomad has introduced a new Universal Cable specifically for the Apple Watch. This cable measures 1.5 m (about 4.9 ft) and features a tough Kevlar 29 braided exterior, which the company claims enhances its strength and resistance to cuts. On both ends, there are electroplated metal USB-C connectors that are designed to work with devices even when they are in cases.
Unique Features and Pricing
What sets this accessory apart is the built-in charging puck for the Apple Watch located at one end, allowing for fast charging of both the Apple Watch and AirPods. However, this feature also contributes to a higher price compared to the standard Nomad USB-C Cable (240W, 1.5). The Apple Watch variant is priced at $100/£100/€100, while the standard version is available for $25 on the Nomad website or $30 on Amazon.
Charging Capabilities
In addition to the wireless charging puck, the cable includes a 100W PD fast charging USB-C output for charging another device. It’s important to note that when two devices are charged at the same time, the USB-C output is limited to 92W. To use this feature, an adapter with a minimum of 20W is required. The cable is marked as having USB 2.0 data transfer speeds, but Nomad clarifies that this is influenced by the cable length, and it is primarily intended for charging instead of data transfer. There is also a built-in cable tie for easier storage and transport of the cable. Besides the Universal Cable for Apple Watch and the USB-C Cable, there is another Universal Cable that includes built-in Micro USB and USB-A adapters.
