Zebra Posted January 26 Author Posted January 26 Yowzer - the one's I saw on Ali Express, etc, we just R150, but would rather support a Hubber, etc... Here's hoping! Chris
devocean Posted January 26 Posted January 26 (edited) If you know anyone traveling back from UK...I bought a pack of 3 off of amazon for 7 GBP. They actually work better than the OEM one... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09NCC6864 Edited January 26 by devocean Captain Underpants 1

Chris Practically ... consider the USB-C to Garmin charge adaptor. Less cables on the desk, and easy enough to have a spare in the car and at the office ..... Many such options - 4-Pack USB C to Garmin Watch Charger Cable Adapter | Shop Today. Get it Tomorrow! | takealot.com But, yea ... let's see if a Hubber can help you out. Zebra and Shebeen 1 1
Paul Ruinaard Posted January 26 Posted January 26 you can buy a cheap one at most of the little cell phone shops for a much reduced price like everything they do. I think the one in the cape in most shopping centres is techno shop or techno stop. Where they cell phone screens, batteries, phone covers etc.

It normally releases the springs. Also clean the connector on the watch with alcohol and a toothpick. Fixed a few like that. Edited January 26 by JoeMerida

Jaco Steyn Posted January 31 Posted January 31 I see that those adapters are also available on Temu. Here is a link for a two-pack for quite a lot less than local. https://share.temu.com/JmimTZrLvwB

The aftermarket ones don't engage so well unfortunately I bought an aftermarket one and spend to much time propping it up, so that it keeps charging and you don't come back a few hours later to an uncharged watch. It is a straight adaptor and does not sit well under the watch, and the magnetic hold is not very good Think I need to bite the OEM bullet Edited March 18 by Milosh
