"Pad", "stand", "pod", ... call it whatever you want, it's still
induction charging with no physical plug to connect. The magnet is
there to simply align and keep the watch in the correct place:
"It¹s a completely sealed system free of exposed contacts.
And it¹s very forgiving, requiring no precise alignment.
You simply hold the connector near the back of the watch,
where magnets cause it to snap into place automatically."
True, it's not quite as easy as just plonking the watch down
haphazardly on an actual mousepad-style pad, but it's still easier for
the terminally lazy than having to put a plug in a socket.
