    I've searched and read, so I thought I'd throw this out there.

    I went to go for a ride today, and my 520 wouldn't start. Did some searching and found that just holding down the power button would give it a reset and start, which it did. I set…
  • RE: Unable to get a GPS Fix - How can I tell if it's a hardware issue?

    The device has a test mode including GPS where it shows the signal strength of the GPS (at least that is what I think, since it changes from 16 in the living room to 30 outside the house). 

    You can test if the sensor is functioning at all.

    From Garmin…

  • RE: Device showing incorrect time (7-10 min LATE (?)) - anyone had this issue

    UPDATE: From what I learned about the time delay - one of the blames is soft reset
    During soft reset - no data will be lost and clock will inevitaby go delayed 2-3min.

    Soft-reset can be done by:
    - intent - holding Light (Power) button pressed for 15sec.…
  • Can anyone recommend a watch with an accurate HRM (any brand)

    I know this has been done to death but the heart rate on this watch is junk. It would be better if it didn't have one. No data is better than bad data.

    Why?

    1/ After 7 days use my max heartrate has hit the giddy heights of 116 bpm. 

    2/ When I exercise…

  • Crash

    I got the forerunner 45s in may, and it's been working great.

    But earlier today, after a 10km run, it glitched while saving and showed the triangle on the screen, as well as the gear thing? A few seconds later, it went back to the save menu, so I…

  • RE: Garmin 935 temperature sensor failure

    OK, Garmin shipped me the sixth unit since May 2017 as a replacement for failured and it arrived about 24 January. Brand new unit, worked beautifully. I did use it in swimming (and running and as a daily watch) but I never pushed the buttons in the water…

    Hi all,

    Like other reports on here recently my watch has started freezing when saving activities in particular slightly longer ones (7 mile+). When hitting save at the end of the activity the light stays on and the screen just freezes on the time. Once…

  • RE: Line on screen when riding a course

    Other readers might not have seen the night-time mode. On my 800, the maps is much darker in night-time mode (so that was odd).

    Does this sort of thing happen on other routes?

    Not being able to look at the whole route makes it harder to tell what is going…

    Thanks jstpassaro for your response, you clearly put a lot of thought into it. I don't disagree with a lot of what you say. Yeah i've run a lot of kms with HR (10s of thousands). Yep with a lot of devices (primarily Garmin), and both straps and optical…
