Purported official Apple Watch dock leaks out in all its glory

Apple is reportedly working on an official dock accessory for its first wearable, wanting a piece of this market for itself apparently. The Apple Watch dock has been leaked in all its glory today, with a few images detailing its looks and functionality.

As you can see from the leaked pictures below (click the thumbnails for full size shots), the dock will be able to charge the Apple Watch while the wearable is placed onto it in one of two positions: either lying flat, or standing upright, helped by the middle section of the dock which can be raised if need be.

When the dock's core element is kicked up, it keeps the Apple Watch in a perfect position for you to use the new 'nightstand mode' that's been added in watchOS 2 and can be noticed at work in the third image above.

The Apple Watch dock comes with a 2m Lightning cable, and it's apparently rather heavy. The price in the EU will be €89, which is about $94 at the current exchange rates. It's unclear when it will launch, but given that it seems to be ready for the spotlight we assume that will happen soon.
