Charging cable has loose contact and doesn't charge

On my Instinct Crossover, the charging no longer works properly. I have to pull the cable out half for it to charge the watch. Is this a cable problem or the plug? I cannot see any obvious dirt on the watch or cable.

Wer programmiert bei Garmin die Geräte???

Hallo zusammen,

bin neu im Forum!

Nutze aber schon lange Garmin Geräte. Seit kurzen besagte Uhr. Auf der Suche nach geeigneten und sinnvoll aufgebauten Watch Faces bin ich fast verzweifelt.

Das Schöne an der Instinkt Crossover sind die anlogen Zeiger und das Ziffernblatt. Aber in einigen optisch einigermaßen ansehnlichen Einstellungen, findet man immer auch die digitale Zeitdarstellung.

Wieso nutze ich den eh schon begrenzten Platz nicht anders?

In manchen Einstellungen sogar zwei oder dreimal.

In der Einstellung mit der Mond bzw. Sonnenstandanzeige z.B., eine wie ich finde eine sehr ansprechende Darstellung, wieder die Zeit zweimal, aber kein Datum.

Im Energiesparmodus wäre doch eine große digitale Datumsdarstellung sinnvoller!?

Garmin ist sicher äußerst zuverlässig und qualitativ hochwertig. Es gibt viele Einstellungen die wirklich gut sind und ich möchte das Produkt auch nicht abwerten. Aber ein bissen mehr Gedanken zur Darstellung könnte man sich schon machen!!

Vielleich hat ja auch der Eine oder Andere eine Alternative? Oder Vielleich verstehe ich ja auch nicht den Sinn dahinter.

Beste Grüße!

Short battery life

Hi,

I got a instinct Crossover Solar quite recently and I'm almost completely happy with it.

The only issue I have, is that the watch drains the battery much faster than expected. I use it only in SmartWatch mode so officially 28 days are expected. After recharging, the watch shows even 30 remaining days but goes every day 2 days down. So after 1 day it shows 28, after 2 26 and so on...

So in the end the battery only holds for around 15 days. Does anyone else have this issue? Is maybe my battey broken? How long does your instinct crossover work before you need to recharge (if you have one)?

Thanks!
