Smaller Versa Charger

Dear Fitbit, The charger is too large to travel with. Anytime I'm traveling more than a few days I leave my Versa at home because the charger doesn't pack small enough. 

 

  • I'd prefer the cradle to have a connector and not a permanently attached cord. That would decrease packing size. A Micro USB or USB-C connector is fine.
  • If the cradle could be thinner that would help too. Just the bare minimum size/mechanism to attach it to the watch.

Thank you.

I think the same:  it's too big to travel with. It would be great to have a smaller one to carry with me in long travels.

Surely we could have a simple cable-only design? Magnetic or something.

If something is under consideration and chosen for development, it can be a while until it's released or until I have any news to share. Please watch this space for any updates! Thanks for your patience.

Upvoted. Was looking for something that allows me to bring just my USB C charger on trips, this is the only device I own that does not charge over USB C.

this charger is way to BIG, I think I will return my Versa I am truly disappointed with the charge and the lack of keeping accurate time 😞

Am often in the Wilderness for a week, carrying all my equipment and food including tent. A smaller charger would be greatly appreciated!

If it is, then it pretty solve all our problems. Too bad the store is not near where I am, else I would be able to give it a try.
