There are power banks. And then there are power banks that actually solve a problem you didn't know you had until you were stuck at an airport with a dead iPhone, a dying Apple Watch, and exactly zero cables in your bag.
The alain Pocket Charge Pro is the second kind.
What makes it different
Most power banks do one thing: charge your phone via a cable you carry separately. The Pocket Charge Pro does three things in one compact body — and none of them require you to carry anything extra.
First, it has built-in Type-C and Lightning cables tucked into the body itself. Flip them out and you're charging. No cable to find, no cable to forget.
Second, it delivers 22.5W fast charging — fast enough to take your phone from 20% to 60% in under 30 minutes on most modern Android phones and recent iPhones.
Third — and this is the part that makes it genuinely different from almost every other power bank on the Indian market — it has a built-in 2.5W wireless pad on top for your Apple Watch. Set your watch face-down on the pad while the bank charges your phone. Both devices charging, zero cables, one small device that fits in your palm.
Why this matters if you own an Apple Watch
Apple Watch has its own proprietary charger. It doesn't charge via USB-C or Lightning. Which means that when you travel or step out for a long day, you either carry a separate Apple Watch charger or your watch dies somewhere around 6pm.
The Pocket Charge Pro removes that problem entirely. The wireless pad on top is designed for Apple Watch. You don't need the original charger. You don't need any extra cable. Just the Pocket Charge Pro.
For anyone who wears an Apple Watch daily, this is the power bank that should be in your bag.

Who it's for
The Pocket Charge Pro is built for one kind of person: someone who owns an iPhone and an Apple Watch, moves around a lot, and is tired of the cable situation.
If that's you, you've been carrying a phone cable and an Apple Watch charger every time you travel. The Pocket Charge Pro replaces both of them with one small device that does it all.
It's not trying to be a 20000mAh travel power bank. It's trying to be the one thing you grab on the way out the door when you know it's going to be a long day — and it's very good at that.
How it compares to the original Pocket Charge
The original alain Pocket Charge is a 5000mAh plug-and-play power bank with three magnetic connector tips. It's brilliant for its purpose: small, instant, no cable needed.
The Pocket Charge Pro takes the same compact philosophy and adds fast charging and Apple Watch compatibility. It's the upgrade for people who need a little more.

A word on quality
The Pocket Charge Pro carries BIS certification — Bureau of Indian Standards registration R-72011916 — the Indian government's mandatory safety and quality standard for consumer electronics.
It's made to be used daily, carried everywhere, and depended on when you need it most.
