i didn't get an extra cable because i'm already forking a lot of money over to apple. i don't want to pay $30 or whatever the price is to save myself 10 seconds in rolling up the one cable i'll have and packing it if i need it on the go. one cable will do.

Preparing to ship!

My spare charging cable is preparing to ship. I bought a 1m cable to travel with. Of course, now I have Lightning, USB-C, Watch, and Micro-USB (for my third party accessories) cables to carry on my trips.

I was going to get one with my preorder, but I did not know the length of the cable that was supposed to come with the watch. I want another one with a different length just so that they could serve a different purpose.

The one that ships with the watch is a 2m cable.

I got my 1m this morning (located in SoCal), added it to my order on the 16th. It's pretty!

Did anybody buy an extra charging cable ?

The one that ships with the watch is a 2m cable.


Apples website stated that the Milanese came with a 1 meter cable. I checked twice before ordering a 2m cable now it says it comes with a 2m cable.

I screwed that one up.

Received mine at home today via UPS at 11:30am. It shipped yesterday from the Harrisburg PA distribution center and was sent UPS ground to Westchester County, NY.

I ordered a spare because where i plan to charge the watch overnight in the bedroom will require routing the cable behind a dresser to an outlet and it will be a pain to remove. I travel often for work and want one in my bag.

fyi, it's the cable only, no outlet plug. It doesn't matter because I have a ton of them from previous phones.

I did and it was delivered today. Via Ontrac, I am not a fan with that delivery service, they left it at the front door, as soon as I got home it was not there so now I am without a charging cable, will be contacting apple tomorrow because I am guessing it was stolen, but just to be sure I am going to ask my neighbors. This is lame!!!

It says shipping 7 days for a charging cable ,so is not bad

I wonder if we are going to see third party charging cables ?

Is that even possible with the new circle charger

I doubt we will. Apple have become smart about their genuine cables. A few software updates and the third party cable you have becomes obsolete.

FYI: the watch already comes with a 2 meter long cable If that helps. I almost bought one separately because I thought the watch came with a 1 meter cable, but it turns out I was wrong.

Cable differences

I read somewhere that the charging cable for the Sports Watches has a plastic disc; unlike the metal disc included with the other models. I wonder if you can buy an extra charging cable with the metal disc :confused:

Both versions on Apple's store show the metal backs.

Great, thank you! From the pictures I saw the plastic disc included with the Sports Watch looked rather cheap to me. I'll probably order the extra charging cable. No rush, though, as I'm in the May delivery group.

----------

FYI, if you order a charger today, it ships today. It said 7-10 business days for the 2 meter, but I just got a shipping notice. I should have it Monday.

Fantastic! I'll just order the charger and fake it :D
I can see myself now, just walking around swinging that charger. Then when someone asks to see my Apple Watch. I'll just tell them I left it at home ;)
