What are the dimensions of the Apple Watch magnetic charger? Is the thickness the same for both the Watch Sport and Watch chargers?

I'm interested in the dimensions of the magnetic charger for both the Watch Sport and Watch. There are a number of third party charger stands out now and was wondering if a charger stand needs to be specific for the Sport or Watch or if any stand will fit accommodate both models.

I have now answered my own question. I purchased an extra magnetic charger from the Apple store. It is a full metal charger identical to what comes with the Apple Watch, not the Sport. The Sport comes with a white, plastic covered magnetic charger, not full metal.


The dimensions for the metal charger that comes with the Watch: 2.08" (52.83 mm) diameter and 0.25" (6.35 mm) thickness.


The dimensions for the plastic covered charger that comes with the Sport: 2.08" (52.83 mm) diameter and 0.30" (7.62 mm) thickness.


So there is a minor difference in thickness. Maybe not enough for the third party watch stand suppliers to worry about but I will. ;-)
