Which Garmin charger fits your watch?
Almost every Garmin since 2017 shares one plug. Here is how to check yours in thirty seconds.
The short version
- Fenix 5 and every newer Garmin use the four-pin plug.
- Forerunner 230 to 735XT use an older clip.
- USB-C or USB-A only changes the other end of the cable.
Look at the back of the watch
Turn the watch over. If you see a small rectangular port with four gold pins in a row, you have the modern Garmin plug, and every AWINNER Garmin cable fits it.
If instead you see four pins on the outside of the case with no port, your watch takes the older clip charger. That clip covers the Forerunner 230, 235, 630 and 735XT, the Approach G10 and S20, and the Vivosmart 3.
The models that share the four-pin plug
Fenix 5 to 8 and every Pro, Plus, Solar and Sapphire edition. Forerunner 45, 55, 165, 245, 255, 265, 745, 945, 955 and 965. Epix Gen 2, Enduro, Venu, Venu 2, Venu 3 and Venu Sq. Vivoactive 3 to 6, Vivomove 3 and Style, Instinct 1 to 3, Approach S10 to S70, Quatix, Tactix and D2.
That is why one pack of our cables can serve a whole family of different Garmins.
USB-A, USB-C or the adapter
USB-A plugs into car sockets, older laptops and most hotel cubes. USB-C plugs into modern laptops, tablets and phone chargers. Neither one charges the watch faster.
If you already carry a USB-C phone cable, our on-the-go adapter turns it into a Garmin charger, and that is one less cable in the bag.
