I was asked to fix a new Garmin not charging. I asked what cable they were using and was told it was their old cable. This is what the old cable looked like.

Fun fact, what killed their last Garmin was corrosion on the pads in the same position.

I work outdoors, sweat/dirt/dust/rain/poison ivy/etc. Only thing I've had to replace is the watchband.

Got watch band material recommendations? I've been using the silicone one it came with, but it's getting worn out and doesn't breathe well. It also can get water under it when washing my hands, and then I have to take it off again just to dry both the area and it.

Oh please do tell if you find anything. I've been having the same issues for years.

I've use metal watch bands for years instead of silicone. Current one was for my Pebble time I got from Fossil and it's still going strong.
