LG now selling G Watch charging cradle on the Play Store

by 2 comments

One of the problems with the G Watch (and the Gear Live) is that it comes with a proprietary charging port that necessitates the use of the bundled charging cradle. While that may not seem too bad at first, there was no way to replace the cradle in case you lost it. What made the problem even worse in case of the G Watch is that there is no power button on it and if it switches off the only way to switch it back on is to put it on the charger.

Thankfully, LG has now started selling the charging cradle separately on the Play Store, which should put your mind at ease if you happen to have a G Watch. It is priced at a slightly steep $19.99, for what is a small plastic square with some metal pins on it but at least you now have a replacement in case you happen to lose yours.

Samsung had announced previously that it too plans on selling the Gear Live proprietary cradle separately but hasn’t started yet.
