Is there a way to get extra chargers for the watch? I could really use one for home and one for at work, but they don't appear to be listed on Pine's store.

Cool, I was just asking about this in IRC the other day in fact. Smile

Do you have a link? I just checked the store but didn't see it.

I personally think that the charger should not have the USB cable soldered on it, as from what I have seen, the cable is quite fragile, and feels as though it could easily rip.

A USB port (preferably USB-C, although microUSB-B could also work out) would go along way to alleviate that, as it is less susceptible to damage then the cable is.

I'm really disappointed that Pine64 still doesn't have a spare charger on the store yet. I need to have one at home and one at work, as sometimes I forget to charge my watch when I go to bed, causing the battery to die half way through the day. Sure I can fire up my 3D printer and make one, but DIY won't be as nice as the factory one, and it's another project I don't have time for right now. I thought Pine64 promised that spare parts would be available for their products, right?
