[Q] DIY Cable charging advise

[ginoworm]

Got my watch and my first attempt at making a charge cable is a no go, can anyone help with the following:

Do the pins on the watch need to be pushed down?

Is it only pins 1 + 4 that need connecting?

When the watch is completley dead does it take a while while on charge to see anything happening, I connect my cable and dont see any sign its charging??

Also taking apart a USB extension cable seems to be the perfect solution as the pins are the right way round to connect to the watch once you take apart the metal housing.

Please help

No when you connect the wire immediately you have to see the battery icon on the screen then when you long press
the power button it has to vibrate and Sony logo will appear on the screen. Maybe you have a short on cable or the watch itself it is defect.
I have my cable defective and I make one as that in the pictures from a flat USB cable.
