Retro-Chic Meets Modern Tech: A Review of Spigen’s iMac G3-Inspired Apple Watch Charger

Spigen has unveiled a unique Apple Watch charging solution that blends nostalgic design with contemporary functionality. The Apple Watch Classic C1 charger, part of Spigen’s C1 collection, draws inspiration from Apple’s iconic iMac G3, a machine that revolutionized the personal computer market with its vibrant color schemes and innovative all-in-one design in 1998.

Priced at $35, the charger cleverly integrates the Apple Watch charging puck (sold separately) into a replica of the iMac G3’s distinctive case. The charging puck fits snugly within the “screen” area, mirroring the original iMac’s slightly slanted display angle for optimal viewing. Available in Tangerine, Graphite, Ruby, and Bondi Blue – colors echoing the original iMac G3 offerings – the charger offers a visually appealing alternative to standard charging solutions.

Compatibility extends to a wide range of Apple devices, including the Apple Watch Ultra (49mm), Apple Watch Series 10/9/8/SE2/7/6/SE/5/4, AirPods 4 (ANC), and AirPods Pro 2. It is important to note that the Apple Watch charging puck is not included in the package; users must utilize their existing puck.

The iMac G3’s significance extends beyond its aesthetic appeal. Its bold departure from the beige uniformity of the PC market of its era marked a pivotal moment in Apple’s history, contributing significantly to the company’s resurgence. This design success is further underscored by the Smithsonian Institution’s inclusion of the iMac G3 in its collection, highlighting its lasting impact on design and technology. With over six million units sold between 1998 and 2003, the iMac G3 laid the groundwork for the enduring iMac product line.

Spigen’s Apple Watch Classic C1 charger serves as a testament to the iMac G3’s enduring legacy, offering a stylish and functional charging solution for modern Apple users who appreciate a touch of retro design. The device’s clever design and color options make it a compelling choice for those seeking a unique and visually pleasing alternative to standard Apple Watch chargers.
