  • Samsung's new charging cradle for the Watch 5 Pro has appeared in the U.K.
  • The cradle costs £20 and comes only in silver.
  • The charging cradle appears to be designed to solve the issue with the Watch 5 Pro being unable to sit flush to a surface, especially during charging.

The U.K. is now seeing the sale of the charging cradle.

SamMobile claims that the charging cradle for the watch is for sale in the U.K. Those in the U.K. will be able to get the new cradle at a discounted price. The cradle is only available in silver, and it doesn't have a charging brick. You will either have to buy a new cradle or use your own.

The cradle has the Watch 5 Pro in mind but those with older models can use it as well as a charging option. The cradle seems to be out of stock right now. Those in the U.K. are able to sign up for restock notifications.

The charging cradle was designed to fix the problem with the watch. Our own review of the Watch 5 Pro shows that the device doesn't sit flush on the floor. This is a problem since the Watch 5 Pro is one of the best watches on the market.

The D-Buckle Sport band is to blame for the watch not being able to sit flat. Remove the bands and allow your watch to charge in a different way. The charging cradle tries to solve the issue by allowing the device to sit flush against the circular top and leave the bands dangling off.

There are lights on the front of the charging cradle that show when the watch is done with its charge cycle. Clicking the "Notify Me" button on the cradle's listing page will let consumers know when it becomes available in the U.S.
