As usual, there might be 1 guy who exists purely online, who got a working GPS watch for $60 + tax.  The $60 GPS watch is too good to be true for the rest of us.  They're all returns that others bought just to swipe the charger & returned with a wrong but retail charger.  There is no retail charger for the $60 GPS watch.

Fortunately, we can attempt to make the $60 GPS watch a reality by fabricating a custom charger.  It's just 2 pogo pins held on by 6x3mm magnets.  3D printing it is no problem, but getting good contact is.  These particular pogo pins were particularly finicky.  A better contact would be a solid gold pad.  It draws 40-130mA at 5V.  A few attempts with a magnetic carrier were failures.  The magnets couldn't provide enough force to get the pogo pins to compress so the assembly just stood above the  watch.  It needed a lot of fidgeting & was unreliable.

It's hard to believe anyone had a pleasant experience with contacting chargers. 

Printing the alignment fiducial & magnet holders is difficult.  The magnets alone seem to get it close enough.

A few failures with magnets gave way to a side clamp.  The pogo pins couldn't retract enough to get it on the watch.

A full sized charging clamp showed more promise but was hard to align.

The incompatible chargers had scavengable pogo pins.

These pogo pins were solid.  The only time it absolutely wouldn't connect was a USB charger which made 4.5V.  Giving it slightly over 5 seemed to help it. 

Lions wouldn't bother with the magnetic system, even with solid pogo pins.  Only the full clamp is going to guarantee a charge when it's essential, the night before the race.  In what lions managed to get working, it doesn't seem to take any input when it's charging, so there's no need to have the screen exposed.  During other tests, it briefly showed a charging icon in the interactive screen, as if there was another mode where it could take input while charging.

Also noted this watch requires the Timex Smart app which was dropped from Goog long ago.  The only way to get data off of it now is to download an APK & click through a bunch of confirmations.

Forced obsolescence & pricing is real severe with watches because they can't monetize the screen like a phone.  You have to do a factory reset on the watch before it can pair.  It automatically syncs with the watch. Recorded workouts can be sent to goog drive as GPX files.  All lions need is GPS recording.

25 years ago, an army of college students would have reverse engineered every watch protocol & made a gphoto, cdparanoia, or decss for watches.  The industry has changed from doers to spectators.

The screen is surprisingly bright, compared to lion memory of past transflective displays.  The last transflective display a lion saw was a powerbook in 1994.  It was only legible in direct sunlight.

Based on the battery life, it might be a really old one that someone eventually lost the charger for, then swapped with a new one to get a new charger & returned with a wrong charger.
