Well I got the Q Founder 2.0 today and it did not come with a brick. Just the USB charging cable.

I got a Marshal this weekend.
I was initially upset when I opened the box. The tiny box in the bottom underneath the watch tray did not have any label on it.
I am not thrilled with the tiny puck to charge.
I still have my Moto 360 chargers... Anyone use those instead?
(Discovered last week that the 360 charger won't charge my watch...My darn cat chewed through the cable for my Fossil. (it was unplugged when he did it)

These watches don't use standard Qi charging. There was another adventure in my trying to order a new charging cable.... but that's another story.

Did you find the tiny USB puck in the bottom of the box?

 

[ezzzzz]

yeah i got the cable, but wanted them to give the brick to plug into the wall

I understand.
I have a few of those at the house. (I've bought a few of the dual chargers because we have WAY too many devices to charge these days )

Is the brick in question manufactured by a reputable company or is it something generic/cheap or from unknown origin? I bring up the question because if it's a charger from a reputable source like a Samsung charger or Apple/HTC etc. then you should be fine, the Fossil charging cable will just pull what it needs to and no more than that. There's logic/communication going on across the USB port that determines the charging voltage/current. I'm guessing that since you're being cautious in asking you probably don't own generic unknown source chargers so you should be fine.

correct, not generic. currently im using a motorola brick. but with your info seems like it would be safe to use my nexus 6p one. thanks
