GloryFit Magnetic Charging Cable (2-Pack)

The model letters on the box are a starting point, not a guarantee. Several brands sell watches that run the GloryFit app under their own names, and the charging port can change between production runs. A quick measurement settles it.

1. Turn the watch face down and find the two charging pins beside the heart-rate sensor.
2. Measure from the centre of one pin to the centre of the other.
3. A reading of 4mm means the Vancle head lines up.
4. Anything close to 2.5mm or 2.84mm points to a narrower cable instead.

Watches in the wider catalogue that pair with GloryFit include:

• the Csasan T70, a 1.91-inch calling watch
• the Matast T60, also with a 1.91-inch screen
• the STECEi T50S and the curved Qecnato S68

The T70 and T60 names line up with the Vancle list, but the maker does not name those brands directly. Measure before you rely on it. Run the same check on any GloryFit watch sold under a different badge.

Once the gap matches, the fit is simple: the magnetic head pulls itself onto the pins and the watch shows its charging icon. There is no cradle to clip the case into, so the cable works the same with a silicone, nylon or steel strap attached.

Busy mornings get easier as a result. Strap swaps, a shower and a charge can all happen without taking the band off the watch.

Each cable is a full metre long. That is enough to reach from a desk USB port to a bedside table or from a power bank in a bag pocket to the watch lying flat. Short factory cables often force the watch to dangle, and a dangling head tends to slip off the pins.

Build the charge into your training week like this:

• Sunday evening: charge to full while you plan the next seven days of workouts.
• Wednesday check: glance at the battery icon after the mid-week session.
• Before long events: top up the night before a long hike, ride or race day.
• Travel: pack the second cable with a power pack so trips still count.

The cable plugs into a computer USB port, a phone-style USB adapter or a power pack. The protection chip inside guards the watch against over-current and over-charging, so leaving it on overnight is a safe habit.

Two cables also mean two households can share one watch model, or a pair of training partners can each carry one without borrowing.

Run through these steps in order before you blame the watch:

1. Unplug the cable and dry the watch completely.
2. Wipe the two watch pins and the two cable pins with a dry cloth.
3. For stubborn grime, wipe with a cotton bud dampened in isopropyl alcohol, then wait until it is fully dry.
4. Reconnect the USB end to a different port or adapter.
5. Place the watch flat and let the magnet settle on the pins.
6. Give a fully flat battery several minutes before expecting the icon.

If the head only sits one way round, flip it and try again. Magnetic heads can cling in the reversed position without touching both pins.

Keep sweat off the contacts

GloryFit watches in this group carry an IP68 rating, which covers rain, sweat and hand washing. The charging pins are still the most exposed part of the case. Rinse the back of the watch with fresh water after a hard session, dry it, and only then connect it to power.

The charging and battery guide covers the rarer faults, such as a watch that shows a charging icon but never climbs past a few percent. For a watch that will not wake at all, the not-turning-on fixes are the next stop.

Store the magnetic head away from loose coins and keys. Small metal bits stick to the magnet and block the contact.

The 4mm universal cable suits a watch whose pins measure a hair off 4mm. The Vancle pair suits anyone who wants two cables and the model names printed on the box.

Spares are also worth having for gifting. A GloryFit watch bought for a parent or teenager often comes with a single short cable, and a second one in a kitchen drawer stops the watch from sitting flat for a week.

Quick checks before ordering:

• Pin gap measured at 4mm, centre to centre
• A USB port or adapter within a metre of where the watch rests
• Two flat pins on the back, not a clip-on cradle
• No need for a wall plug, since none is included

Pair the cable with a fresh strap

Many GloryFit watches take a 22mm strap, and a steel or silicone spare is an easy way to make one watch work for both the office and the gym. The strap sizing guide shows how to confirm the width.

A spare charger is a small purchase, but it is the thing that keeps a calling watch on the wrist every day. That daily wear is what turns heart-rate and sleep numbers into a useful trend.
