My charging dock was stolen along with some other stuff. Found out you cannot purchase it separately yet. So now I have a $300 paper weight. Called Verizon, best buy as well as Samsung and nothing.

So just a heads up, be very careful not to break or lose that charging dock.

Sorry regarding your misfortune. :(

Decided to give it a shot myself via SAMSUNG CHAT & same info,w/a twist:

Basically,each dock/cradle will only work w/the watch that it came with.They will repair,but,no extras are available at this time.
The Chat CSR went on to state that the issue of cradle exclusivity to a particular watch is in the works,so that any cradle should be able to work,once this update/design change is implemented.

If anyone has experienced anything contrary to the above,please chime in,as I wouldn't mind having an extra cradle to keep @ work/etc...... :)

Update: $28 and a 2 week turnaround. There is an NFC chip in the charging cradle that had to be paired to the gear.

This is for a new cradle & shipping (assuming you had to send the GEAR to SAMSUNG for service/pairing of the cradle) ?

If so,doesn't sound like too bad of a deal.Sorry that any expense had to be incurred,but,not too bad considering you have your GEAR to use once again.
