    Hey guys. I have a Samsung gear fit watch and use it quite a bit for working out. Recently the cable broke and had to go search for another one. I was to get a half decent one. I came across this one anyway which is pretty cheap, only 61c, can't go wrong there and seems to be decent build quality, I've ordered one so I guess I'll see when it gets here :D
    Hope this is of use to someone

    and seems to be decent build quality

    What are you basing that on?

    At a rough count I have about 12 micro USB cables in the house. The build quality varies considerably. I've never paid more than a fiver for one, and I've never waited more than 2 months for one to arrive.

    Years ago my partner bought 5 sets of Apple earphone clones from a Chinese site. They were about 80c each. Her plan was to give them as Xmas presents and use one pair herself. Her pair broke after a week. By the time Christmas came, she was onto the last of the 5 pairs.

    I bought a retractable micro USB in Dealz about 6 months ago. It works great and very handy. Cost 2 euro.

    I think every month I buy a new micro USB cable. You get what you pay for but I don't like paying much for them.

    Thats why Ive about 12 cables. For about 5 devices. I dont want to spend a lot on one, but 61cent but only lasts a week, isn't a bargain.

    Dealz fiber wrapped USB charger cables are good. I buy a lot of gadgetty stuff from ebay and most come with a USB cable - they go straight in the bin. They are dodgy - sometimes polarity is crossed or they can't handle the current new phones need. Don't think I've ever come across a bad one from Dealz.
