Charging cable is too short

[Leslieann6198]

This charger is useless! It's so short it doesn't even reach the top of my nightstand! I have to carge it on the floor next to my bed! Why isn't the cord longer????

You can get an extension cable or charge the watch in another location.  You can put outlet strip on the side of your nightstand to plug the charger into. I have a multi-port charging station and plug my watch charger into one of the ports.  You can use a power bank. There are many options to solve the issue.  Surely not all your outlets are low to the ground.  Millions of people have no problem charging their watches with the orginal cable and charger.

3' is the standard charging cord length.  It is also more than standard desk/nightstand height.  You do not have to buy more of anything if you choose not to.  You choose to charge on your nightstand, which evidently has the outlet at an inconvenient distance. You certainly have more than one outlet in your home, you can simply charge your watch in another location.  You are not wearing it while charging, so it really doesn't make a difference where you charge it.

The cable should be longer. We should not have to look for options/solutions.

The cable is as long as it needs to be.  It's a safety issue.  Even phone charger cords that come with the phones are short.  If you want longer, you can buy longer.  People look for solutions all the time.  Not everyone needs 6' cords.  Again, MILLIONS of people have no problem charging their watches - they either use the original chargers/cables or find solutions.  I don't bend to plug anything into an outlet, so if I don't have a high outlet, I buy multi outlet strips to put them a height I am comfortable with.  Frankly, a 3-foot cord is plenty long enough to reach tabletop height from a standard location power outlet.  If one has baseboard outlets, they need a different solution.  But, unless someone's home has only one outlet and it's located on the baseboard, there should be other outlets where the OP (and you) can charge your devices.  I mean, I have my watch charger plugged into my computer - I haven't even bothered to uncoil the cord.  That's why there is a tremendous after market for all things charging related.

Im doing exactly what you said...using a power strip on the floor, next to the nightstand and it barely reaches. Totally unacceptable.

Seriously, plug it in somewhere else. You are sleeping.

I suggested move the power strip higher. Your complaint is that cord is too short. Either move the power strip to the top of the night stand (they do make small, attractive ones), mount it to the side of the night stand or the wall (you can use Command strips).

Buying longer/extra cables/strips/stations will not help with the safety issue.

[realaud]

If you buy aftermarket longer cords or extension cords, the safety onus is on *you*, not the manufacturer. Samsung ships to standard, and that is good enough for 90% of the users.  For those it's not good enough for, they go out and buy charging stations, outlet strips, longer cables. Or, THEY JUST CHOOSE ANOTHER SPOT TO CHARGE THEIR DEVICE and deal with it.
