Would be great to just lay it on a desk or night stand and have it start charging.

If the size / thickness could be kept to reasonable proportions (which is going to be a challenge with all the other goodies inside the core) then sure... I'd go for it.

Maybe have a module / block that added this ability, if that is at all possible... not sure there.

IMO it doesn't matter what kind of wireless charging it is

Pretty useless poll if you ask me, regardless of how you feel about wireless charging we're too late into the production cycle to be able to incorporate Qi wireless charging coil on to the core.

The only possible solution could be a wireless charging module.

The issue with wireless charging as mentioned before is trade off between aesthetics and function. When it comes to a smartwatch that is a stylish wearable accessory, aesthetics takes the priority over function.

Besides a magnetic charging dock can fulfill the need to charge your watch without having to plug it in to a wire.

a wireless charging module is possible but you dont have to keep that on all day, because it uses 1 space. So you have to change it every evening/morning.

Or you can use a extender block later and put 1 in a charging dock.so it only have to be close to it to be charging but no idea if that would work. I think not.

I think the moto 360 has a great way of charging, something like that, but with a better stand, and a way along with it a way to recharge the extra batteries would be great.

I currently have a Pebble Time watch and I just backed a wireless charging for it on kickstarter, so, I would definitely want this for blocks.
