A watch that (in some hands at least) struggles to get through a day, makes charging a priority. Amber allows charging anywhere, any time.
Amber is a white plastic Apple Watch case, clad in aluminium. A Watch, inserted as in the images above, is attached to the Apple Watch magnetic charging connector. Charging is supported by the 3,800mAh battery in the Amber.
Ports at the back allow for charging the internal battery (micro USB) & external devices (USB-A).

An iPhone app allows monitoring Amber's state & Watch charging.
Surprisingly, Amber was funded on both Kickstarter & Indiegogo.
