When are Garmin going to make a USB cable with a type-c connector. Just bought the Fenix 6 and it's still shipping with a cable that has a type-a adapter.
Even better -- sell adapters instead of cables (ex USB-C -> Garmin charger; micro USB -> Garmin charger). In the spirit of things like this.
Thank you!
Hi Guys,
I have written to dcrainmaker
Let´s see what he has to say about it. If any,
Hi Ray,
REF: cheap cables vs original's vs PTC (I didn´t even know they existed)
Despite the fact that in almost 3 years of use I have never had any problem with Garmin's original F5x cable I decide to by those because of using them in my bike on long rides but one of the cables failed after a dozen uses at home (still not in a bike).
I believe it got short cut because suddenly the percentagem not only got stuck but every time I disconnected the cable it was down a lot e.g. it was showing 35% then after disconnecting 9%...
So I used the second cable of the package and so far is doing ok but then I've learned about the existence of a PTC cable (www.amazon.com/.../B071DXC3NV ) ,,, which left me with some doubts/questions:
1) is the original Garmin's cable a PTC?
2) If not, does that mean Garmin doesn't see the need or the value for that?
3) If yes, I bet those cheap cable here doesn't have any PTC so where do we stand using them.
Thank you very much.
Thank you! , the cable is useful for me!!
I'm not sure that I would agree this is better. If rather just have a straight up usb type-c cable than fiddle with adapters.
Not usb type-c
