Expensive but works.

The price seems high but it does the job and keeps my Garmin 935 charged when I need it. Took it on a trip and forgot the charging cable. Now it is always ready to hand in my travel bag.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • I will add later

Works Great: Computer Accessories & Peripherals

The cable is longer than the original OEM version that came with your Garmin but this is a bonus and gives you more charging freedom. The product corresponds to the description, works perfectly, the transaction went smoothly, the delivery is fast.

Pros
  • Several Competitors
Cons
  • Not All Will Fit

No Garmin cable! This is an inferior third-party version!

Despite their high price, these cables are not made by Garmin. The connectors do not work well and cannot stay connected to the device after a few uses. Better to buy direct from Garmin.

Pros
  • Ease of Use
Cons
  • Replacement Availability

is it real But it works.

Summary: Purchased for Garmin watch. It looks authentic, but when it's connected, it's stuck. It is different from the cable I received with the watch itself. But it works. Pros: 1) The quality is good. 2) Charge normally. 3) So far no problems. 4) More useful as a backup. Cons: 1) Short cable. 2) Authentic?

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • Weight

Fits right but works

This cable is suitable for charging my Garmin Fenix 5S Plus. One of the other reviewers said it was an original Garmin cable. That is not right. This is a fake cable and it takes a lot of effort to insert and remove. I plan on using it long enough to buy another original Garmin cable. Yes, the original is overpriced, but it works.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Pretty much everything is ok

Zero Stars: Computers and Accessories

I figured it might be coincidence that the first cable I bought stopped working after one charge so I bought a second one and gave these guys the benefit of the doubt. Well, after one charge, the second cable also stopped working. Don't waste your money and time and just buy it on Garmin website. These are cheap fakes, not real ones. Watch type: Tactix Charlie.

Pros
  • Easy Setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

UPDATED: SLOW charging but no syncing

Need a replacement for my Garmin Forerunner 935. The connection is correct enough to charge the watch but it doesn't provide my computer with an input to identify the watch as external Device for software updates. It took a full 24 hours to charge from 30% to 99%. I'm lucky enough to live a few miles from Garmin headquarters. I went to their service center and tried the Garmin cable and got back to the charging speed I had before so I bought the cable directly from them. I would not recommend…

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Works as it should

I still don't understand why Garmin makes these special connections that you need these special cables for instead of something standard like USB-C. However, I had to buy it as an extra cable because I wanted one at work and one at home to charge my Garmin Venu smartwatch. Works as advertised but I still can't get over the high price of this cable.

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • Very expensive

Identical to original

I bought this as a replacement when I lost my Garmin vivoactive 3 charger. It's the same as I originally had. As a side note, the small tabs in the charger that connect to your watch are spring loaded. If one of them gets stuck and causes it to stop charging properly, I've cleaned it with a damp cotton swab or a cotton swab with some nail polish remover to clean the tabs so the springs work properly.

Pros
  • USB cable
Cons
  • old

Original Forerunner 245 Cable

I somehow lost my Forerunner 245 charging cable. . It turned out that I had left the cable in the motel room. My wife decided to try and get it back and she did! Now I owe her ice cream at Vic's. But I found that this cable is actually exactly the same as the cable I got with the Forerunner 245 - I misremembered how securely attached it was. Even with the native cable, it dangles a bit. I also have a cheaper non-original cable and it works, but I would recommend the original (this one) if you…

Pros
  • Cables and Connections
Cons
  • Not sure
