VSWhat we love
- Charges Apple Watch — Anker can't
- Built-in USB-C and Lightning cables
- Usually a bit cheaper
What bugs us
- Anker's USB-C port is faster (27W vs 20W)
- Chunkier than a phone-only pack (16mm, ~209g)
These are two of the best magnetic power banks you can buy, and they’re built for different guys. The Ridge Power Bank is the “charge everything” option. The Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K) is the spec-sheet flex.
Short answer: Both have a battery display and a kickstand, so this one comes down to what else you charge. Ridge for Apple Watch owners and travelers. Anker for guys who only charge a phone and want the fastest wired output.

Round 1: Charging your stuff — Ridge wins
This is where the Ridge runs away with it. Built-in Apple Watch charging plus built-in USB-C and Lightning cables means one brick handles your phone, watch and earbuds. With the Anker, you’re still packing a watch puck and a cable.
Round 2: Speed — Anker wins
Both do 15W wireless, and Anker’s is officially Qi2 certified. On the wired side, Anker’s 27W USB-C beats Ridge’s 20W. In real life the difference is minutes, not hours — but Anker takes the round.
Round 3: Display and kickstand — Tie
Both have a digital battery-percentage display and a built-in kickstand for propping your phone up to watch something on a plane. Anker’s screen also shows time remaining, which is a nice touch, but it’s not enough to win the round.
Round 4: Travel-friendliness — Ridge wins
Fewer cables, fewer chargers, fewer things to forget. For a weekend trip, the Ridge lets you pack a single charger for your phone, watch and earbuds.
Round 5: Price — Ridge wins (slightly)
The Ridge usually runs about $10 cheaper. Both go on sale often, so check today’s price.

Who should buy which
Buy the Ridge Power Bank if…
- You wear an Apple Watch
- You travel and hate packing cables

The verdict
Ridge wins, 3 rounds to 1, with one tie. They match on display and kickstand, and Anker is a bit faster over USB-C, but the Ridge charges more of your stuff with fewer cables. If an Apple Watch is on your wrist, it’s not even close.
