Belkin's new power bank can fast charge an Apple Watch

Belkin this week launched the BoostCharge Pro, a new portable battery that can fast charge your Apple Watch, as well as your iPhone. While plenty of portable power banks have a place to top up your Apple Watch when you're out and about, the BoostCharge Pro is the first we've seen that supports fast charging the wearable. 

Fast charging was introduced with the Apple Watch Series 7. A 45-minute charge is enough to take the Watch Series 7 and Series 8 from flat to 80%. Without fast charging, you're looking at about 90 minutes, and even longer for a full charge.  

In addition to working as an Apple Watch charger, the BoostCharge Pro has a 20W USB-C port for charging other devices. 20W is zippy enough to fast charge an iPhone 14, as well as most other modern flagship phones. 

The BoostCharge Pro has a capacity of 10,000mAh. That should roughly be enough to recharge an iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro three times. 

You can pick the BoostCharge Pro up direct from Belkin for $139 right now.
