So this is my second charger with the same problem. One of the pins on the charger is stuck in or the spring mechanism has failed. This seems to be a weakness that has yet to be addressed.

Hi @Martink4789 - correct, if you look in the forums this is quite a common problem but it may also be avoidable. See Tips when using the Sense or Versa 3 charging cable

I came here to report this exact problem.  I have gone through 2 chargers as well and am now back to wearing my Galaxy Smart Watch because I have no way to charge my Sense and your warranty department was of no help. Evidently the replacement charger I was sent does not qualify for a warranty replacement.  This is a serious flaw with an otherwise well liked product.

Hi @MILLICAN - you can always buy the charge cables online quite cheaply but they shouldn't fail in the first place.

Hi
True you can buy them on line, that is not the point. This issue of the charge pin failing is obviously a weakness in the design. I would like to know what fitbit intend to do to correct the problem.

Agree, they should not fail like they do. I have read some have had more issues with the cheaper replacement cables.  I don't feel like throwing more money away at the problem.  Maybe they will rethink the design. They are a big enough company, losing one customer to this problem isn't going to hurt them.
