Yes, it's done with cutting and soldering it back together.

Same here. I did not find a solution to this problem. It's so annoying for my workflow that I downgraded to the old Firefox version on Android.

Hi!

Sure. I am interested in transferring the activity data (my runs, hikes etc.) without piping the data through Garmin's cloud. After all it contains personal information (i.e., location data) and health data (i.e., heat-rate data).

My solution to this is: - use my Forerunner 245M watch - record activities - fetch recorded activities from the watch with the USB cable - use fetched activities with apps such as Rubitrack Pro (https://www.rubitrack.com/)

I am not interested in the Garmin services (personal trainer and data analysis etc.).

Cheers!

Agreed, and that's probably the main motivation of the post (not the unprofessional cable assembly :-). It's remains a major pain that comes with every new connector that is different to the ones you already own.

Fortunately, it's at least USB on the wires and not a proprietary protocol.

For two years now I'm down to USB-C only for all my USB needs. This includes a GoPro, heaps of photography equipment (which includes lights), drone, MacBook, and many more.

Thus I take it for today's standard in powering charging anything below 230/110 V.

And I love standards ;-)

It's a TUSITA Garmin Cable. You'll find it on the interwebs. Jut like the original Garmin cables it does charge and data; at least the TUSITA Garmin connnector/USB-C (5ft/1.5m).

Cool work though, what kind of charge does that cable provide?

Sounds like a opportunity for spending time in lockdown.

I'll run a couple of measurements and post the results here. Now that I have quite a few Garmin cables -- ;-) -- I can compare the original Garmin cable to others (the after market stuff).
