Review on Compatible Replacement Charging Forerunner Vivoactive by George Bell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Doesn't fit properly

I had to buy this Garmin/Type-C cable for my Fenix 5 watch when I bought a new computer. This cable works as advertised, however it is difficult to connect to Garmin watches and the connection is very tight. It also makes it difficult to turn it off after charging is complete. I don't have this problem with the original OEM Garmin cable, so the problem is with the new cable connector. I'm concerned that I might damage something if I force my connector in and out with my Garmin watch. I suspect this is a quality control issue and the connector is out of spec.

Pros
  • New type-c interface
Cons
  • Requires socket
