Overview

The Garmin 010-11029-04 is a charging/data clip that connects a Forerunner 10 or Forerunner 15 to a USB port for charging and data transfer. It’s the correct clip-style connector for those two watch models, so it seats on the watch contacts properly and keeps the connection stable while you sync or top up the battery.

On a boat, it’s an easy way to keep your Forerunner charged from any regulated 5V USB outlet at the helm, in the cabin, or from a power bank, and then plug into a computer when you want to move activity data on or off the watch. If you prefer wall power at the dock or in the garage, the cable also works with an optional AC adapter that’s sold separately.

Key features

• Charges and transfers data with one clip-and-cable connection
• Made specifically for Garmin Forerunner 10 and Forerunner 15 contact layout
• USB connection for power and computer data sync
• Works with an optional AC adapter (sold separately) when you want to charge from a wall outlet
• Black clip and cable to match common onboard electronics and accessories

What’s included

• Charging/data clip with attached USB cable

Compatibility and fit

This clip is for the Forerunner 10 and Forerunner 15 only. If your watch is a different Forerunner model, the contact shape and clip latch won’t match, so confirm the model name on the watch before ordering a spare for your gear bag or onboard drawer.

Installation and setup

Snap the clip onto the back of the watch so the contacts line up, then plug the USB end into a computer for charging and data transfer. For charging only, plug into a quality USB power source such as a marine USB outlet, a 12V/24V-to-USB adapter, or a power bank that supplies standard USB power.

Use cases on board

This is a practical add-on for boaters who use a Forerunner 10 or 15 to track workouts, dock walks, fishing trips, or time-on-water activities and want a spare charger that stays on the vessel. It also helps if you keep a laptop onboard and want the option to sync data while underway or at anchor.

Maintenance and care

Keep the clip and USB end out of salt spray and standing water, and stow it somewhere dry when not in use. If it gets exposed to salt or grime, wipe it down with a lightly damp cloth and let it dry fully before the next charge or sync session.
