But alas, no. It turns out the Samsung Gear watches don't use the Qi wireless charging standard, hence it seems reasonable that my Samsung Qi-based charge pad won't do anything for the BMW keys.

But at least the alternative is cheap (in the USA anyway...)
I didn't know there were different standards. Guess I really lucked out on this. I have a charging pad my note 8 phone too but never put a key on it.

Lucked out that the watch charger worked it seems.
