The world of tech accessories just got a whole lot more interesting! Mous has boldly stepped up to the plate, offering the first-ever third-party charger for the Pixel Watch 4 that's 'officially' endorsed. But wait, isn't that a Google product? How did this happen?
Just a couple of months after the Pixel Watch 4's release, Mous unveiled its innovative charging dock. The sleek 'Mous Pixel Watch Charger' boasts a stylish matte black finish and a dedicated mount for the watch. But here's where it gets intriguing: the base is crafted from a sustainable blend of 35% recycled polycarbonate and aluminum alloy, a unique choice for sure.
Unlike other third-party options that merely act as cases for Google's charger, this one is different. It's built with the official Google Pixel Watch charging hardware, ensuring seamless compatibility. It delivers a rapid 5.6W contact charging, but here's the catch: it requires a 7.5W+ input for optimal performance. Mous assures users of safe charging with its dual-part authentication IC.
The charger's modular design is a standout feature. Pogo connectors on the left edge allow for easy upgrades with other Mous charging accessories, a clever touch. Its compact, travel-friendly form factor, likely referring to the detachable USB-C cable, is a welcome addition, especially for those who find Google's standard cable length restrictive.
Priced at $49.99, this charger is currently exclusive to the Google Store, a premium offering compared to Google's $29.99 charger. But is this innovative design worth the extra cost? That's for you to decide!
