Ocean charger
-
Has anyone faced this? I lost my Suunto Ocean charger and the official website doesn’t seem to sell original spares. What’s the best option now?

@chandan t should be the same as races and vertical

@safari only cables available on their website are magnetic USB cable compatible with suunto 9 and a dive USB cable. Can’t buy a watch for a charger

Ask Support. On the EU site you find it easy
sure they will help you in this case -
@chandan Yes, in this case, you need to look at alternative stores.

@safari Had a chat with Indian Suunto customer care. The representative confirmed via mail that "suunto charging cable black " available on Indian suunto website is compatible for ocean. Wondering why the same is not available on the USA website ! ( don’t know how to upload screenshot of the email )

Amazon, $15.00.

Charger is simple USB 2 wire connection with 2 magnets at the end. Since it is reversable, anyone can just split USB cable, touch red / black wires and charge the watch or diy custom charging station.
Aliexpress and others have aftermarket chargers (longer thicker cable, slightly bigger magnets), screen protection glasses (way way better for clarity than original soft one), wrist bands in any color (OEM is more rugged, but I think it is possible to find similar quality aftermarket).
I ordered several glass protections, charger to have just in case, some bands and it was way easier and faster to order and WAY cheaper than getting single OEM charger. (kit of glass, charger and a band is like ~10eur)
Why can’t suunto and others offer such kits with your purchase even at higher price is baffling to me. Purchase in bulk, slap some logos, charge like 2-3x price and make hassle free experience.

@prakalejas totally agree, it can even be 3d printed
Design is really easy to make and will cost like 1$ per charger (printing material, magnets and usb c to wire adapters
When I see the price of the oem charger for race 2 vertical 2 I found it is really overpriced
I understand that a company must earn money but the price of the charger does not seems fair to me especially when I compare to their watch price policy that is really really good
