You're getting your pants pulled down if you go to those idiots, they'll be outsourcing the work at a premium. Some bean counter will have decided it's too expensive to have a service dept.

They would have taken my returned defunct watch, shipped it out to the factory where they refurbish, refurbished it there and used that as a replacement for someone else down the line.Originally Posted by Graham Breeze
At least that's what Garmin UK told me.

Yeap. To be honest, that reference might be an exaggeration rather than a literal quadrupling. But the 'step' counter does give some weird feedback when riding due to the horse's movements/gaits and the accelerometre thingy in the watch. Horses walk with 4 beats; trop (posting) with 2 beats; canter with 3 beats; and gallop with 4 beats. There's also 'flying changes' and different rider degrees of contact and vertical movements that confound too!How does that work? Last time I counted, a horse only had four legs

Impressive use of 70 words to supplement "er...yep"

Somehow, I'm troubled by the mental image of you have the spare time and also the inclination to individually count each of those words Graham!Impressive use of 70 words to supplement "er...yep"
N0! I just can't shake it...

I would not wish you to be disturbed (although I was troubled by your spelling of accelerometer) and although it is said that genius is an infinite capacity for taking pains certainly there is another word for using cut and paste and word count.Somehow, I'm troubled by the mental image of you have the spare time and also the inclination to individually count each of those words Graham!

And a third word for reducing the true total of 72 to 70 because round numbers are more memorably striking than mere precision.

My Fenix 6S Pro used to click nicely onto the charging cable, but for a while it has slotted in more softly - now for the first time, it has failed to charge to 100% overnight - I have since given the connections a decent clean and am keeping my fingers crossed. If it becomes unchargeable despite what I do I think I will go for an Instinct - the top models are now well over £1,000 - crazy.
as with my experience - had a period of inconsistent charging until it would charge no longer.
The £70 fix mentioned above seems to have sorted it. It will be interesting to see how much longer I get out of it.
Might be worth a try mike if your problem persists.

Thanks for the suggestion WP. It would seem several people had downloading problems on that day. Whether or not it has anything to do with the recent upgrade I have no idea. My watch has since downloaded/charged normally.
So which GPS watch hits the 'sweet spot'. That is, basic navigation functions, understated, thrifty, so not overly gauche, or resembling the techy bling a triathlete-type might hanker after?
