• Open water swimming GPS inaccuracy

    So,  I have commented previously on this matter. It really bugs me ! I've swum 285000m in the Irish sea over the last year.  I used to think the 935 was fairly accurate until I started swimming a 320m triangle course. Each time I do that,  the 935 underestimates…

    I've had the watch for 9 months and has been, in the main, a sound investment. However within the last 2 - 3 months almost every pool swim, the watch stops counting randomly, vibrates and goes through the blue triangle restart. There is no set duration…

    Hey Garmin users!

    I bought a refurbished forerunner 15 (IK wrong thread but the model is so old they don't have one for me) around 3.5 years ago that has worked pretty well up until recently. The past month or so my garmin has struggled to fully connect…

  • RE: 645M Froze up during a run.

    Same for me.  I had huge problems 12 months ago with it constantly rebooting which all resolved but just lately it's happening again.  I notice the music goes first then when I look down at the watch it's the triangle on the watch face.  Takes about…

    Bought both 225 and 235 in the last month

    I bought the 225 at the beginning of November as I was too impatient to wait for what I originally perceived to be an upgrade I didnt need and too costly in the 235. Paid £182 for the 225 and was initially very…
  • Vivoactive battery drain and weird behavior while charging.

    This is my second Vivoactive 3 watch that I received as a replacement for the original one.  The original watch could go for 5-6 days on one charge if I did not use GPS much, then after about 2 years the battery started to fail. Garmin sent me a refurbished…

  • RE: Heart rate flat lining at 149bpm

    sorta - but.... zones change daily - heart rate is variable by 5-10bpm easily - fitness adjusts zones - etc...

    However, if your doing a treadmill hill climb workout (maybe 4x8'/3')... its nice to know with a varying hill slope and pace - roughly midway…
