This is one of those funny situations, but the price was only $7.99.

I bought a $39 TOZO watch. Think of it as a cheap Apple watch. Right below it, they had a TOZO fast charger listed, so I ordered that, too. When I received the charger, I saw that it would accept only a USB-C connector, not the Type-A that every other charger in the world accepts. I returned it and requested a refund. Instead, they sent me a replacement. I returned that, explaining the refund/replacement situation. Well, they're sending me another replacement.

Have you ever seen a charger that has a USB-C port? I would need a cable to "C" connectors on both ends.

I bought a little, about 1", C to B adapter.
Not sure yet if I want to get another..... just in case.
All the newer stuff is coming out with C.

Devices have C, but chargers?

In addition to $8 for the charger I didn't want, I'd have to spend $13 more for an adapter. It would be cheaper to buy another charger. I probably have dozens of them, though, so I'm not going to buy anything.

I could also buy a C-to-C cable for $10.

With the C port? The cable-makers must love all these changes. It would cost me more to buy the appropriate cable or adapter than to buy a charger I could actually use.

I just remembered that I got some kind of device a while ago, and it came with a short cable that had C connectors on both ends. If I can dig that up, I can use the charger. We should start a pool on when the next kind of USB-C plug will be introduced.

Jerry a lot of newer devices especially with bigger batteries use usb-c at both ends of the cable. My iPad chargers do, my new office laptop does, you can just run more current through that connector. But it’s a pain when traveling to make sure I have all the right cables with me.

I don't have anything yet that uses C at both ends.

Could I use that higher output charger on my phone, Kindle, etc? I really don't care if things charge slowly.

I am curious to know how well that $39. Tozo watch works . . . if you ever get it running that is.

It works great. I could receive emails and phone calls on it, but I don't need that. It has modes for various sports, steps taken during the day, high and low pulse, and more. I haven't read the manual (tiny, tiny type) yet, but I figured out most of it. If I start running or walking, it will keep track of that, too. Basically, this watch does more than I do.

Sounds like my Glory Fit.

Handy little bugger, eh?

There are a lot of one-star reviews for that.

I had a couple of FitBits, but they stopped working. Well, one stopped, and the band on the watch broke. There's no simple way to replace it, so I put it away - or threw it away.

It's been fine for 4 months so far...
I guess it depends on their expectations?

jerryc41 Loc: Catskill Mts of NY

I had one of these, but as one person said, when the band breaks, you're stuck. Still, for $20, it's pretty good. I used it mainly for getting to 10,000 steps during the day. I didn't get there very often, though, but it did encourage me to work at it.
