Fitbit Sense and Versa 3 Charging Cable, Official Product

Misplaced my original charger, glad I found original one.

Looks just like the original that came with my Versa 3. Just does not have the charging gizmo that you plug into an electrical outlet. Thank goodness I redound my original, so I use this one upstairs with my laptop. Handy!

I tried two different third party chargers without success, so I bit the bullet and bought the official Fitbit replacement. It works!

The fact that it worked immediately without a hitch

As of November 22, 2022 the pin that was sticking is now failing again after I fixed it. It seems the spring mechanism is no longer working even after lubricating it so I had to toss it. I needed to attach my watch to the charging cord so I could set my Sense up again in an attempt to get it to let me select a workout. So big fail in two ways. — Original Post — My Fitbit Sense charging cord stopped working. I examined the cord and notice one of the four metal needle type connectors would not spring up to connect with my Sense watch. So, I replaced the cord with this one. After two months same problem and now my watch will not charge because a metal connector will not spring up and remains detracted. I cannot return it because its has been too long. SO, I opened it up and fixed it myself. Seems one of the magnets broke loose. I removed it and was able to restore the spring in the connector. Another magnet broke loose while repairing so I super glued both magnets in place. The charging cord is now functional again. All connectors are working as expected.

My watch wouldnt charge, so I bought a new charger and it was fixed.

Edit 9/22/22: On my second one, I took it apart and saved the magnets before I threw the rest in the landfill. Theyre tiny, but strong. Theyre little neodymium rare earth magnets. I can pin things to my fridge with them. So far the third one has worked flawlessly. Its lasted long enough where Id be ok if it stopped working now. Ive been expecting it to for awhile. Changing my review from one to three stars. ----------------- Original review: I love my Fitbit Sense. Its a great watch. The problem is the cable. These companies have you over a barrel with their proprietary designs. Yes, other manufacturers make aftermarket versions, but those are likely even worse (according to the reviews). I dont need worse. These are bad enough, thank you. I have to believe these are similar to planned obsolescence, only this is planned failure so that you have to keep purchasing them. Ive gone through two of these and I treat them very gently. The problem is the prongs give in and get pushed into the body of the charger, rendering it unable to charge your watch. The original lasted from Nov 25, 2020 until Sept 20, 2021. The second one lasted from Sept 20, 2021 until 12/22/2021. Thats THREE MONTHs. This company knows this is a problem, they fail to fix the problem because theyve got you. Pay up... Well fine, then, one star for you.

I messed around with knock offs but should have just bought orig like this one. While you get two for less than one of these I almost replaced my watch thinking it was a goner. It used to take longer to charge with the cheap ones. Now I’m back to as good as new !!

I purchased a new FIBIT because the last died. I really like FIBIT so I went to AMAZON! Amazon is my favorite shopping site without leaving my home!!! I received my new FIBIT!!! I love it. It is important to exercise and FIBIT shows me how many steps I take daily….. It shows the number of steps I take each day…. This helps me to see my steps and challenges me to beat yesterdays final count. My second favorite, it monitors my sleep and shows my sleep pattern. I started having difficulty falling asleep and the graph shows REM, awake, light, etc. FIBIT also gives you a message on how to sleep better. I firmly recommend everyone that are health conscious to purchase this device….. Also, when you go shopping…. The FIBIT doesn’t count steps because your arms are not moving…. It’s the challenge to beat your best # of steps each day. Perfect Buy
