One cable or a 2-pack

Check your watch's 4mm contacts with a ruler first

This cable fits one thing: a watch or tracker with two flat charging contacts whose centres sit 4mm apart. The magnets pull the two probes onto those contacts, and the charge starts. Get the spacing right and it works like the original; get it wrong and nothing happens.

Measuring takes a minute and saves a return:

  1. Turn the watch over and find the two small metal contacts on the back.
  2. Lay a ruler with millimetre marks across them.
  3. Measure from the centre of one contact to the centre of the other, not edge to edge.
  4. If the gap reads between 3.8mm and 4.2mm, this cable fits.

Compare the result with the common 2-pin sizes:

Centre-to-centre gapCable to look for

About 2.8mmFitCloudPro 2.8mm cable
About 2.84mm2-pin 2.84mm cable
3.8–4.2mmThis 4mm cable
About 7.62mm2-pin 7.62mm cable
Save it for later: photograph the back of your watch next to a ruler and keep it on your phone. Next time a cable goes missing, the right spare is a quick match away.

The quickest shortcut is the original cable, if you still have it. Measure the gap between its two probes the same way; the spacing on the cable matches the spacing on the watch.

A watch whose original cable ends in a clip or cradle, or a band with a USB plug built into the strap, needs a different charger. For all the types, see the charger guide.

Build a weekly charge around the 4mm magnetic cable

Once it fits, the cable becomes part of the weekly routine. Connect the USB plug to a computer, battery pack or mains adapter, bring the probes near the watch and the magnets snap into place. A full charge takes about 2 hours.

The cable outputs 5V at 1A, the standard USB level for wearables. Any phone charger or computer port can drive it; there is no need for a fast-charging brick, and the watch takes only what it needs.

  • At home: clip it on every Sunday night while you plan the week ahead.
  • At work: a spare cable in the desk drawer tops up a low watch over lunch.
  • In the car: a USB port keeps the watch going on a road trip.
  • In the gym bag: a spare for travel days and weekends away.

Safety features cover the basics. Over-voltage and over-current protection guard the watch during charging, and some 2-pack versions add short-circuit protection. The housing is PC and ABS plastic, and the flexible PVC cable is bend tested more than 5,000 times.

Power bankHikes and trips

Before each charge, run a dry cloth over the watch contacts. Skin oils and sweat build up on the metal after workouts and weaken the connection. A cotton bud with a little rubbing alcohol clears stubborn grime, as long as the watch dries fully before charging.

A spare cable also helps a streak. A watch that dies on a trip misses nights of sleep data and days of steps, which a 10-gram cable in the bag prevents.

Swap the magnets when the 4mm cable will not charge

Sometimes the spacing is right but the watch shows no charging icon. The usual cause is polarity. Some watches put the positive and negative contacts the opposite way round, and the cable's probes then meet the wrong contact.

The cable is built for this. Its two magnets can be removed and swapped, which flips how the cable seats on the watch.

  1. Unplug the cable from USB power.
  2. Use a small tool to slide the two magnets out of the charging head.
  3. Swap their positions.
  4. Seat them firmly and plug the cable back in.
  5. Attach the watch and look for the charging icon.

If it still does not charge, run through the other common causes:

  • Dirty contacts: clean both the watch contacts and the probes.
  • Wrong spacing: measure again, centre to centre.
  • Weak power source: try a different USB port or adapter.
  • Deeply flat battery: leave it attached for 30 minutes before judging.

The magnetic hold is strong, and auto-alignment keeps the probes on the contacts even if the cable is nudged. It is still best to charge the watch on a flat surface where it will not be knocked off.

When the watch will not charge on any cable, the watch itself is the likely culprit. The not-turning-on guide works through that in order.

Charge in a cool spot, away from direct sun on a windowsill or a hot car dashboard. Heat is hard on small lithium batteries, and a warm watch on a warm cable ages faster than one charged on a desk.

Keep the removed magnets somewhere safe while you work. They are small and strong, and they will jump to the nearest steel surface if dropped.

Single cable or 2-pack: match your charging spots

The same 4mm magnetic head comes in several packs. The differences are the number of cables and their length; every version ends in a USB-A plug, which decides where you can charge.

VersionPlugBest for
1 cableUSB-AA straight replacement for a lost cable
1 cable, ChnfutUSB-AA spare for the desk drawer
2-pack, 60cmUSB-AOne at home, one in the bag
2-pack, VtyzcmUSB-AHome and work, or bed and bag

A 2-pack makes sense for most owners. One cable lives by the bed or desk, the other travels, and a lost cable no longer means a dead watch. The single cable suits anyone who only needs to replace what went missing.

Check the ports you use most against the USB-A plug:

  • USB-A sockets: older laptops, most wall adapters, car sockets and power banks take it directly.
  • USB-C only: newer laptops and phone chargers need a small USB-C to USB-A adapter.
  • Mixed household: keep one adapter with the cable that travels.

Cable length is easy to overlook. The 60cm cables in two of the USB-A 2-packs reach from a wall socket to a bedside table without the watch dangling, while a shorter lead suits a laptop or power bank in a bag.

Beyond watches, the cable fits other wearables with the same 4mm 2-pin contacts, such as some fitness trackers, bone-conduction headphones and smart glasses. The rule is the same for all of them: measure first.

Another 4mm option is the GloryFit magnetic cable 2-pack, also with USB-A plugs. Spare straps sit in the bands guide, and together they make a small kit that keeps your daily tracking going.

Warm-up questions

Before you strap it on

How do I know if the 4mm cable fits my watch?

Measure centre to centre across the pair of contacts on the back. If it is between 3.8mm and 4.2mm, the cable fits.

Why does my watch not charge on the magnetic cable?

The polarity may be reversed. Remove the two magnets from the charging head, swap them, and try again. Clean the contacts too.

How long until the watch is full?

About 2 hours for a typical watch, from a 5V USB source.

Can I charge from a phone charger or laptop?

Yes. It draws standard 5V USB power from a wall adapter, laptop, car port or power bank.

How do the versions differ?

One cable or a 2-pack, all with a USB-A plug; cable length varies. The 4mm magnetic head is the same.
