Like everyone else here it seems, i also have been having the red ! of death for a number of months now! I've been trying absolutely everything to resolve this issue myself! Up until about 2 weeks ago, the temporary fix was to add a new club, then sync to my device (S70), which after a lot of faffing around seemed to work. However, even that does NOT work now! I've tried unpairing my S70, restarting both watch and phone, blah blah blah. You name it, i've tried it!
It came to a head about 10 days ago, when my wife (also a golfer) said, 'You spend more time messing with that blo*dy watch before/during/after the round than what you do actually playing golf'! That hit home, believe me, and then has me agitated for the whole round! The irony is that my wife has an S62, and never misses a beat so-to-speak, and virtual caddie works 100% of the time without fail! My last watch was also the S62, and worked perfectly EVERY time! I now rue the day i spent a fortune (for me) on this supposedly upgrade of a watch! Oh, and don't get me started on the S70 deciding BY ITSELF that it needs to go into sleep-mode after every round i play!
Anyway, i had a 'chat' with Garmin customer-services the other day, and, as it's still in warranty, they have agreed to send out a replacement device. I shipped it yesterday, so hopefully will have a new S70 within the next 7 days! As it stands, i'll be without a device when i play this weekend! That said, at least i won't be in a grumpy mood as usual before i tee off, lol! Joking aside, i find it incredulous that this MASSIVE issue has not been fully resolved yet! I feel that the S70 therefore is NOT fit for purpose, period! Part of me is even contemplating selling the new device once it arrives, and then buying a used S62, as they clearly ARE fit for purpose!
Garmin, Garmin, Garmin, what the heck is going on plse? If this 'new' device still has the virtual caddie issues when it arrives, i will be seeking legal advice...
