New style charger with old watch?
Alternatively, are any third party chargers available?
It's very fiddly trying to charge my Runner. I was sent a replacement cable for free (Thanks Tom Tom!) when the first seemed to stop working, but I've had the same problem with the replacement for ages now. I think maybe the plastic stretches over time and the contacts don't meet well enough. Or maybe the contacts are just wearing away too much now (maybe they weren't designed to stand up to sweat for this many years?
Another problem is because the connection is dodgy, sometimes it will randomly disconnect during an update and screw up the watch, so I have to factory reset it.
I'd like to keep using it - I can't afford a new one right now and when I eventually manage to charge it does still keep charge for a decent time. I don't suppose there is a clamp-style charger for this watch on sale anywhere?
