Wireless Chargers / Twelve South
Twelve South ButterFly SE 2-in-1
Aluminium, 119g, real Apple Watch fast charging — the travel pick.
Overall score 7.8/10
Pros
- + The best-built travel charger here — aluminium and leather rather than plastic
- + Genuine Apple Watch fast charging, which the cheaper 2-in-1s do not offer at all
- + 119g and folds to palm size
- + Braided cable included
Cons
- − Qi2 15W rather than Qi2.2 25W, so phone charging is a generation behind
- − The watch puck charges either the watch or AirPods, not both
- − No adapter included, and it needs 30W or more
- − $79.99 for 15W is a lot if you do not care about the build
Twelve South ButterFly SE 2-in-1 review: what the specs say
Aluminium, 119g, real Apple Watch fast charging — the travel pick. At $79.99, Twelve South's 2024 model sits in the middle of the range — the wireless Chargers we compare run from $22.99 to $149.99. It scores 7.8/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Build Quality at 9.5/10 — materials, finish and durability. The weakest is Cooling at 6.0/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: qi2 15W rather than Qi2.2 25W, so phone charging is a generation behind; and the watch puck charges either the watch or AirPods, not both. Every specification on this page comes from Twelve South's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
