Anyone know of a "flat" charger for the Galaxy Watch? Something I can throw in a bag to charge on the go if needed? I've seen lots for the GWatch Active... but will those work with the 46mm G-Watch?

I've been searching the interwebs and went to the Samsung store at Best Buy (mistake) and haven't been able to find a concrete answer.
Does the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 have wireless charging? Qi? Actually any of the new galaxy tab pro line?
The back is not replaceable like other galaxy devices so an aftermarket replacement back with wireless charging is not foreseeable correct?
Thanks for anyone who can help!

It does not have wireless charging. It would take a week to charge it even if it did.
I remember having the Palm Pre wireless charging puck and yes, it was slow. Even doing other things while having it wirelessly charge (watching a movie, playing a game, tethering) would slow the charging rate down to the point where it would actually discharge because the power drain was higher than the charging speed LOL
I had wireless charging on my nexus 7 and loved it. Yes it was slower but it was nice to not have to fiddle with USB cables in the dark. Batteries usually last the day so I just had to put it on at night. If bought 2 Nokia Qi chargers at att when they were on sale for $25. Now they are just collecting dust.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I have a G Pad and have a QI USB wireless charger receiver, basically plugs into USB and stick the coil on the back plate with sellotape haha!
The great thing about this is it can work on phones that don't support QI.
I have got a case off eBay to hide the receiver (it still chargers great) through the case.
I'd say the maximum charge distance was maybe 5 - 7 mm.
It is slow. About 13 - 14% an hour. (Stock was 9%)
I drop it on QI pad at night and its 100% when I get up.
I sometimes put it on when I go out and whatnot. I love it!
I can deal with the charging rate, because its a lot more convenient, I'm one that fiddles with USB cords haha!
Still use USB for phone but converting to full Wireless slowly.
I've been looking everywhere, but I can't find anyone who has set their phones up to charge wirelessly with the Palm Touchstone. There have been hacks for pretty much every Galaxy and Note version through the s5 and the Note 3. You could even buy pre-modded battery covers which would work with the Touchstone for these devices through ebay and other outlets. But nothing on the Note 4. Anyone have any thoughts?
Im currently looking for a charging combo where i can put my phone (oneplus 6) and the watch in/on at the same time.

I've seen the samsung galaxy charger duo which charges both the phone and the watch, and there are also a couple of alternatives on amazon if you search for duo wireless chargers
One of the main reasons I pre-ordered my Galaxy Watch here in the UK was that it not only came with the standard single wireless charger that everyone gets, but it also came with a free Duo wireless charger! The Duo is OK, though I'm a bit surprised it used micro USB rather than USB C for power and that the section to put your watch on isn't magnetic like the single standard wireless charger is (I guess it's not so critical because its horizontal rather than vertical).
Both charging areas of the Duo have "fast charging" written on them, though is the Galaxy Watch even capable of that? I think the retail price of the Duo (89 pounds in the UK) is scandalously high - it's probably worth about a third of that. Single Qi chargers can be found for 10 pounds or less, so to charge 9 times that for a Duo is ridiculous.
Im guessing your right, but im looking for an alternative that wont charge your phone wireless too (because the op6 hasnt got wireless charging though)
Same here, I have a Nexus5x (and no plan to buy a Samsung phone any time soon).
I might end up 3d printing a stand with usb-c for my phone. I just need to find some good Galaxy Watch charger for that.

That actually seems like a pretty good idea. If you do try and do this, you could share the model you used for the charger. Thanks in advance!

I honestly wouldn't expect an Apple charger to be compatible with anything but Apple.
I was in a Samsung Store and they have the Galaxy Watches on Display on the Chargers that look Great.
I would like to know How and Where and How Much.
How can I find the Samsung Galaxy Watch Charging Display Stand that I can Purchase?
Where is it Available to be able to Purchase?
How Much is the Official Samsung Galaxy Watch Charging Display Stand?
If Anyone Know then Please let Me know.
Hello I got a samsung wireless duo 2018 model. ( the one with the upright stand) It is for my bedside table and on the whole I love it. The fan is noticable. On my note 9 I can turn off fast charge and its silent. My buds charge on the flat side with no fan noise at all but heres the problem. My galaxy watch makes the fan spin up every time. It doesnt need a fan as the charger it comes with doesnt have it. Is there a way to fix this? Either by taking my Galaxy Watch out of fast charge mode like the Note 9 or by disabling the fan in the wireless duo itself?
I never use fast charge as all my devices charge overnight.
Thanks in advance.
Not surprisingly, the watch's battery is not great. I would like to purchase two additional chargers to have them in my car and in my office at work. But the official charger is a bit overpriced. Does anybody know of cheaper alternatives?
Same question here, or any way to customize/mod the device so it can be compatible with other wireless charging devices?
I was wondering of anyone has tried a samsung galaxy charger or similar to see if they work?

I tried both Samsung original, and generic one. Both charged the Galaxy watch 4, both shows charging indication in Pixel watch, but it doesn't really charge

Cheers for that, saves me wasting money trying for myself.
That's just what is needed - more proprietary charging devices. Screw any common standards.
