Charging Dock/Stand for Fossil Smartwatch Gen 6/5/5E/4 Garrett,Julianna Carlyle,Sport and for MK MKGO Runway with 5 Ft Cable

Works better than factory charger. Will buy again if I ever need another one.

The Fossil Sport Smartwatch (gen 4) is not a cheap device, so I was worried when it failed to charge (after a few months of working fine). It makes sense that it's easier to keep a watch waterproof if there aren't any ports, so it's no surprise that the charge interconnect consists of concentric metal bands and a magnetic cable with spring loaded contact points. Did a wire break in the cable? Sure the watch would still be under warranty, but I wanted to see if the charging cable was faulty (rather than the watch itself). I came across this Fossil Gen 4 Charger,Replacement Wireless Charging Dock/Stand when looking for a Prime OEM replacement.First of all, this is a stand, unlike the OEM cable that the Fossil Sport came with. I kind of prefer the stand to the cable, as it makes the watch easier locate quickly. Obviously, that's really just a preference, so YMMV. As a stand, this device could really use a little weightier base. To be fair, the stand is stable, but it will tip without a large impact. If the purpose of getting the stand was to test the watch to see if IT was the failed component. Guess what? THE WATCH WORKED! Obviously this isn't exactly a statistically significant sample, but I do think it good diagnostic practice to isolate the easiest/cheapest variables first. Recommended.

Look nice. Cord is attached to the stand so that's a plus. Strong magnet. Watch slipped right into place and started charging with no hesitation.

Not the best looking thing and I think kinda overpriced for what it is but it was also about the same price as a replacement cable, so I guess a better value relatively speaking. Seems to charge just fine so far. The plastic is fairly sturdy and holds the watch firmly in place with a magnet. It comes with a USB cable but no charging brick. The USB cable is not detachable. Overall works well for it's pupose as a charging stand.

Nice product, does what it's supposed to while looking good doing it

I've had this charger for about 4 months. It really is a big piece of junk. The Fossil Sport watch has terrible battery life, so I'm constantly needing to charge it. I had the OEM charger, which works great, but I needed a spare, so I bought this one. During the first month it seemed to charge ok. But it is definitely not a "fast charger" as advertised. Then after a month, if you did not place the watch on the stand in exactly the most perfect location, it would not charge at all. I would have expected to place it on the stand, and when the magnets connect, it is connected and will charge. Not at all. Not only do the magnets have to connect, but then you have to move the watch around every so slightly to get it in the perfect position to charge the watch. A real pain in the a--. Then for the past month, it just stopped charging all together. I tried carefully placing it on there, and adjusting ever so slightly, but still no charging. Finally I gave up, and will be delivering this piece of junk to the local electronics recycler. So buyer beware, and you take your chances buying this product.

The Soarking Charging Dock works great! Docking my Fossil Gen 2 is simple and sturdy. The magnet is strong and the charger has never gotten hot or even warm. It also charges as fast as the original charger that came with my watch. I would highly recommend this item!

I got a new Fossil Sport watch and like most other smartwatch purchases one of my first extra buys is a second charger. This charger was cheaper than the Fossil OEM one and was built into a stand so I was intrigued.The charger works perfectly and there hasn't been any issues charging up my watch at night. I keep it on my bedside table plugged into a USB port on the back of my alarm clock.One minor nitpick is that the stand is slightly wobbly. At first I felt like I was going to knock it over when putting my watch on to charge. Once I started trusting the magnet in the charger I realized I could just hover my watch over the stand and release and let the magnets pull it into place. All just as a heads up there is not power supply brick included. That's not a problem for me but I just wanted to point that out to folks who were deciding still. Any USB powerbrick will work though.
