For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with Antsy Labs to give away three of the company's Duet docks for the Apple Watch and iPhone.
The Duet features a dock for any Lightning-enabled iPhone along with an arm that can accommodate any Apple Watch, with both able to be charged at the same time through user-supplied official charging cables. The design of the Duet lets it support iPhones from the SE to the 6s Plus, even when in a case. According to Duet's website, most cases on the market today are supported.
Priced at $89, the Duet started out as a Kickstarter project that was successfully funded last year. The Duet is machined from solid aluminum and is available in Silver, Space Gray, Gold, and Matte Black to match Apple's devices. It's also available in both left and right orientations, so you can choose your preferred layout.
What's neat about the Duet is that while two dock pieces work together, you're also able to use them separately. They're held together via magnets and will snap apart so one can be used on a bedside table while another's located on a desk. Both the weight of the aluminum and a suction material underneath each section keep the docks in place whether they're used together or alone. For more details on the Duet, make sure to check out our review.

For $89 I'd expect a stand that has one cable. You can now order female Lightning ports MFi so they could put one of those on the back. Just plug in any lightning cable and it charges the iPhone and the AW.
Otherwise I actually really like the design of this one. But I just don't think it warrants an $89 with needing to supply two of our own cables, which is a clunky solution. I do, however, like that you can select the left/right orientation of the docks when ordering. I think it's worth $40-50 at the most, with the Apple Tax. But $90? Nope.
