Suunto Race charging cable issue
-
Hi,
I’ve had a Suunto Race for about six month and recently I faced an issue with the charging cable:
when I connect the charger, the watch doesn’t start charging easily, I have to rotate millimetrically the charger to match the metallic contact on the watch with the ones on the charger. It seems like a contact issue.
Someone has encountere this problem yet? -
I have the same issue with the watch. I think its a know thing that suunto has troubles with their charging cables (ever since) they changend the system in the new race 2 and it should get better, but with the race 1 with have to stick with that rotating and trying

Yes, the Suunto charging wiggle.
I’ve wondered if it is worth trying to solder a larger contact patch onto the charger terminals to raise it up? -
@sroggerini I had the same issue. So I’ve created a docking station for my charger, which holds the watch at the correct position: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7108194
If you know somebody with a 3d printer, this should help. -
My only tip is to slowly lower the watch down to the charger and let the magnets align themselves and “jump” to the watch. And then don’t touch. I have never had an issue with the watch not charging using that method.
