Finally a Charger that works with Apple Watch Series 5
First off, yes you can turn the LED lights on/off that are on the base. I was worried about this but saw an answer but no detail on how: There is a touch-sensitive button on the right side in front of where you plug in your AirPods. See attached image (yellow circled area). This is very important as I plan to use this on my nightstand next to my bed and the blue/green lights are pretty bright.
Onto the actual review: This is the 4th combo dock that I've purchased from AMZ since I received my Apple Watch Series 5 (with the latest 6.x watchOS installed). This is also the ONLY one that has worked so far to charge the watch (aside from the original Apple charger that came with the watch). All other docks would go into this start/stop charging cycle every few seconds and the watch would never actually charge.
I purchased a 3rd party QC 3.0 charger per specs and it worked like a charm.
I have not had a chance to do any charging "speed tests" but when i get the chance i'll update my review. Right now i have all 3 devices (iPhone XS, Apple Watch Series 5, and Airpods Gen 1) all connected to the dock and charging.
