Review on πŸ”Œ 2-Pack USB Charging Cable & Stand Station for Garmin Vivoactive 3 4 4S, Fenix 5 6 6S 6X, Venu Sq Music, Forerunner 935 by Michael Pickering

Easier to use than Garmin cables.

Used with Garmin Vivoactive 4s. The Garmin OEM cable is ridiculously short and requires you to plug it in properly to use it. Also, you must leave the watch face down or on its side while charging. I ordered longer cables from the aftermarket which worked but didn't solve the problem with plugging etc. I also tried this device. It's a lot easier to line up and you can see the watch face while it's charging. The only problem I had was that I thought it was taking too much effort to connect. Using calipers, I measured that the outer plastic skirt on the charger (which fits into a cutout on the Vivoactive) was a few thousandths of an inch larger than the Garmin cable. I sanded it down with sandpaper to match the Garmin cable and now it goes in and out great! Most likely they would have worn out anyway, but I was afraid I would highlight something in the watch. I recommend this machine! Just remember that if you get tough, it can be fixed. Don't play with a real electrical plug, though, and don't forget to remove the plastic dust when you're done.
