Henoda Black Replacement USB Charger Cable for Fitbit Charge HR Band Wireless

Update 05-23-2015 and 06-1-2015 see at bottom of review.Original review: I thought this would be a great alternative to the official charging cable that came with my Fitbit Charge HR. I mean, how hard can it be to design a cable that works, right? Well, apparently, its harder than you would think. This cable looks almost identical to the official version. There is one problem though: When I connected it to my fitbit, the display would flash rapidly on and off as if I was inserting and removing the cable really fast or something. The poor fitbit would try to accept the charge and would show a resetting charging display over and over, but it was clear that this cable is not working properly. I tried multiple power sources and computer usb ports (including several that work with the official cable). I tried seating and reseating the cable on both ends. I tried cleaning the connection points. Nothing worked. I'm pretty sure prolonged exposure to this cables "dirty power" would cause long term damage to my fitbit investment so I have no choice but to send this thing back and seek the expensive official cable. I would be willing to try another cable and revise my review if the seller sent me a replacement. But as it stands right now, I cant recommend this product.UPDATE: I will say, the company, (Henoda) has excellent customer service. They immediately refunded my purchase and are sending a replacement. I will update my review once I have tested the replacement product.UPDATE 2: The replacement cord I received seems to be working properly. I will say, I am impressed with their customer service. They did not hesitate to refund and/or replace the cord so there is little risk to trying this one first to see if it will work for your needs. I've changed my review from 1 star to 4 stars since this new cord seems to work fine. I'll report back if I experience any trouble with the new cord. I suspect that the little pins in the end of the cord might be sensitive, so I would make sure to be gentle with them.UPDATE 3 (06-01-2015): I've charged a few times with this product now and the replacement they sent me has continued to work as expected. I would say at this point, with their customer service, there is little risk to trying this cord out.

After losing my Charge HR for almost a month.... then finding it, and discovering the charger got lost in the process - it was difficult to find a replacement quickly. I missed my FitBit!After emailing my office of 300 people and getting 6 responses from people who had different FitBit devices (every one is different. shame on FitBit make them all micro-usb) - and visiting Best Buy who doesn't carry the charging cables - I took a chance since this was available through Prime.It works just like the original and came way quicker than FitBit could have delivered. Problem solved!

I was a little skeptical about buying this product at first. The reviews were average and some reviewers left feedback about bad customer service and the product not working. However, I was in desperate need of a charger for my Fitbit Charge HR as I just can't seem to find mine. I had misplaced it and was bummed about it. After reading other reviews, I decided to go looking for this charger replacement in Best Buy because at least it would come from Fitbit. However, my local Best Buy was sold out and it was $19.99. So I broke down and purchased this charger.I can say this. I was absolutely satisfied. I see no difference in this replacement charger than from the original one. I initially had some issues getting it plugged into my Charge HR. I was almost concerned that it wasn't going to fit. Once I got it in, it went to charging immediately. My Fitbit Charger HR was fully charged in the same amount of time that it would have taken the original charger. I am extremely satisfied and would recommend this charger to anyone.

These are great to have around because the Fitbit Charge HR doesn't last as long as you'd think. Plus, cords do go bad from time to time just from use and abuse. Note, that I bought the 3-pack and all three work fine after a bit of adjusting (sometimes as simple as plugging in a few times to get the metal back into shape. Once plugged in, they fit pretty tight which is important because the factory cord always fell out. Thus, these are better than what Fitbit includes. Not perfect only because you have to play with them a bit to get a perfect fit but, once they fit, they work better than original and it is great to have one around in case the others get lost or destroyed. Probably should be 4 1/2 stars but giving them 5 stars.

This is slightly longer and more flexible than the stock charge cable. The fit is pretty tight especially on the first use.I almost thought it was the wrong size as it seemed ever so slightly larger than the port on the device, but the little tension clips on either side were just stiff. after firmly holding it in place while connecting it, it fit perfectly. After several times of use, this became a lot easier as it loosened up a bit.It charges without issue and was purchased as a travel charging cable to take to work or keep in a pack to be able to use while not at home.Very affordable and works well

This items is only a few cents less expensive than other choices--choose them instead. This took more than 3 weeks to arrive and straight out of the package only one worked. When I found out this order was delayed I ordered another set, it arrived in 2 days (Prime) and has worked for the 3 weeks..(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DNTWGYM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) is a much better choice--looking at them I can't tell a difference--but the difference is readily apparent in service and performance. Don't buy this one.

The fit between the connector and the Fitbit charge plug in is not correct, it randomly disconnects in the middle of charging if you move it even the slightest bit. Never had this problem with any other Fitbit HR chargers. First few times I used it I'd plug it in and walk away only to come back and find it hadn't charged at all. Now I can only use this one if I'm able to watch it the entire time to make sure it stays connected.
