Posted at 2021-11-30 by Serj @user136447 Hey! Thanks for sharing! Posted at 2021-11-30 by Serj Also wondering if there are alternatives charging cable for the first model of Bangle.js? Posted at 2021-11-30 by user136447 I didn't look for Bangle 1 cables. I would think they would be available. Can you check and post back for other interested Bangle users? Posted at 2021-11-30 by Serj Well, at the moment I have already ordered additional cables from Gordon :) But if someone finds alternatives it would be great! Posted at 2021-12-01 by parasquid You can DIY a cable yourself with some pogo pins :) The one I did wasn't magnetic so I had to spend half an hour just pressing down on the pogo and the watch, but it shouldn't be that complicated to create a harness that can clamp down on both the watch and the pins. Posted at 2021-12-22 by user137493 I needed this too so here is a link to German Amazon if anyone needs it https://www.amazon.de/dp/B077RFZJ8Z/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_6ZH025Y98QRKS0HJK3A7 Posted at 2022-01-04 by @gfwilliams Thanks! I'll get them in the store soon but I'll link to those cables from the Bangle.js 2 page anyway - I think for many it'll be easier/faster/cheaper to use a cable on Amazon in your country than to have one shipped from the UK :) Posted at 2024-09-25 by user159027 Hi! I lost my Bangle.JS 2 cable. The two Amazon links are unavailable in Spain (and elsewhere, I think). Shipping to Spain is quite steep, so I'm wondering if there's some way to check if any of those: https://www.amazon.es/Inteligente-magn%C3%A9tica-Inteligentes-Bluetooth-Smartwatch/dp/B083JTSBFS/ Is safe for use with a Bangle.JS 2? (Or any other way to get a cable in Spain.) Cheers, Álex Posted at 2024-09-26 by @gfwilliams It's hard to know without getting them, but I guess from Amazon you could order one, check that GND and 5v are in the positions as shown on https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js2+Technical#swd with a multimeter, and return it if they're not? But you wouldn't want to just connect one without checking as that could break the Bangle.js... Posted at 2024-09-26 by user159027 Oh, I have a multimeter. I'm just scared of electronics, but I'll think I'll try it out. Just 10 minutes ago, I charged my self-cleaning bottle and realized their charging cable fits too (tested it while unplugged). I'll test the cable I have and maybe experiment with what's on Amazon- having more cables would be handy. Posted at 2024-09-26 by @fanoush They have pinout here https://www.walmart.com/ip/USB-Smart-Watch-Charging-Cable-Magnetic-Adsorption-Cable-for-GT88-K88h-KW08-White/5626620486 but it also depend on the magnets - if the correct way would not attract it needs magnets swapped/turned EDIT: here they also have dimensions and magnet poles BTW and they also list it is compatible with "for SMA-Q2, for SMA-ROUND,for SMA-09,for SMA-09S" so not SMA-Q3 but chance is high. Posted at 2024-10-07 by user159027 For posterity, I charged my Bangle.JS 2 with: https://www.amazon.es/dp/B0B7JT2C2X , which shared one compatible watch model with the other cables listed here, and it seems to be fine. |

All:
I located an alternative source for the BangleJS charging cable: Amazon.
There are other sources out there too, I used Google Search Term of "bangle2 charging cable". I chose
Amazon (rather than the raft o' Chinese sources) due to the free shipping and also 'cuz I trust
Amazon to allow returns if things don't work out.
Charging Cable for Bluetooth Smart Watches (4 pin)
https://amzn.to/3FNqGMW
Cost is $8.99, I have Amazon Prime so I didn't pay shipping. I got it within 2 days (ordered last Wednesday, arrived Friday).
I checked with Gordon (maker/designer of the watch) and asked him before posting this.
He himself hasn't verified that it works, but I recharged my BangleJS2 yesterday.
I explicitly asked him if it was ok to post this since it means people may not order the cable from him, and his response was:
Thanks Gordon! Really reflects a person who's got the true Open Source spirit!
