Not recommended! The charger fitted my watch's charging port snugly, but completely drained my device's battery life. My watch is about 3 months old and with the original Garmin charger it will hold a charge for 5-7 days depending on my activity tracking level. It now lasts less than 36 hours with this charger, even after switching back to the Garmin approved charging cable.

Somehow this charger damaged the dial on the first use. It seems like the power surge somehow burned a small circle into part of my display. It seems strange that this can happen because of the charger, but it's a sad fact. In the photo, this is the lower right side of the display. Buy another brand and protect yourself from possible damage to your Garmin devices.
