I wear a Garmin fitness tracker. For the last couple of weeks I have noticed it has a charging problem.

Buy a new one.
Wear the old one till it stops charging altogether.

One time it will charge and the next time it won't. Should I just keep wearing it until it stops charging altogether or buy a new one and be done?

I have a Samsung that does that sometimes, I found sometimes even when put on the charger it doesn’t “connect”

@Stereoguy I double check it every time I put it on the charger now to make sure it’s actually charging, it’s a tad annoying. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Maybe the charging cord has a problem. But if you are using it for a longer time then you can switch it for a new one. I use Mi 4 band it's cheap and working well. I got it 3 years ago

@Stereoguy not usually that much... Bose will take it in and replace it for a very very small fee...

@Stereoguy I had a similar issue with one of my devices is all. Would show connected and then either wouldn’t keep it or just wouldn’t charge fully. Got a new charger and it’s fine now. Not saying it’s not simply the device, just throwing it out there that sometimes it’s the charger that goes.

Contact Garmin. Before GPS, I used to have their "Street Pilot" and they fixed it when it had broken.
