Strap: The first Apple Watch charging strap is on its way and it allows for faster charging of the device, reports 9to5Mac. The first charging Watch strap in the works is called “Reserve Strap”. This strap takes advantage of a hidden port located on the wearable tech for its charging. A video was released that compared this method of charging to Apple’s official method and the hidden port is faster. Using this port allowed the charging strap to reach a 95% charge in the same amount of time it took the official method to reach 90% charge.
