Anyone else find the design of the charger ... irritating? Why the super short cord?? Most plugs in a house are higher than the cord is long so my Fitbit dangles while connected to the (IMHO) not very strong magnets. Why is it sold this way? Too “expensive” to provide a reasonable length cord?
Maybe I’m the only one bothered by this. I found a work around - tissue box props up my Fitbit while on charger.

I have the same problem too - I just never had the time to make a post! FitBit - no one likes dangling participles, please offer a longer charging cord 🙂

Bothers me too. the magnet is not strong enough to keep charging even put on a box.

I total agree a longer cords works better for me also.
I just purchase the Inspire 2 and don’t understand why it does not charge up to 100% when it has been on charger for 24 hours and also you can’t see face of battery on Fitbit itself.

It’s very annoying! Mine doesn’t stay connected even when propped up. I finally put a twist tie around the cord that I can wrap around the Fitbit to hold them together.
