Dual-function design handles both charging and data transfer through a single 0.5 meter cable. The Garmin Charging/Data Cable connects via USB-A on one end and a proprietary clip connector on the other, eliminating the need for separate cables when syncing workout data or topping up battery before your next activity.

The clip-style connector attaches to charging contacts on compatible Garmin watches and fitness devices. USB 2.0 data transfer runs at 480 Mbps, which handles activity uploads and software updates without lengthy wait times. When plugged into a computer's USB port, the cable draws 5V at 1A for charging while simultaneously enabling access to Garmin Connect for workout analysis and device management.

Compatible devices include fenix 5, 5S, 5X, and 6 series watches, Forerunner models (935, 945, 745, 645, 645 Music, 245, 45, 45S), vivoactive 3 and 4 series, Approach golf watches (S10, S40, S60, X10), D2 Charlie and Delta aviator watches, quatix 5 marine watches, Instinct, Venu, Vivomove 3, vivosport, Swim 2, tactix Charlie, and BarkLimiter training collars. The cable works with any standard USB-A port on computers, or pairs with an optional AC wall adapter for charging from wall outlets.
