    To be honest I worry more for the quick fit mechanism than the buckle because even if the pin fails it will probably still hold up by the strap loops.

    I have also ordered few, but i started to wonder about quality of the silicone. And Im not talking…
  • RE: I developed this on my wrist...

    Strange as it’s right below the optical sensor.

    The optical sensor is slightly raised above the rest of the back of the watch, so in closer contact with the skin. Being in the center and furthest from the edge of the watch, it's also the part where air…

  • RE: Can the Fenix 5 watch be worn in salted water?

    Seriously, the only time I ever had a contact issue was when I trialed those contact covers. They didn’t  stop water from getting in but they did stop water from getting out.

    My experience is the exact opposite - I use the covers since 3 years…

    I have had this issues several times now with a Vivoactive 4. I originally bought a 3 but had skin irritation and so they upgraded me to a 4 which was much appreciated. However, now I don’t get texts without the app being open like I did on my 3 and I…

  • Alternate Wrist Band? (Cloth or Leather)

    Has anyone found a replacement for the included watch band? The material tends to irritate my skin (especially on hot and humid days). So, I'd like to find a cloth or even leather replacement. Anyone else out there have the same issue?
  • RE: Optical Heart Rate Forerunner 255 about Health

    Light does not "go" into the blood, and as I said light outside is anyway much brighter than the sensor led, and your skin is exposed to it all the time, so you would be in real trouble if that somehow happened. Also, you wrote "if i disable…

  • RE: Silicon case protector?

    I bought one for my fenix 3hr.....which also fits my 5x....I pair it with a nice black Titanium bracelet bought online....as I find rubber can irritate my skin.....and steel affects the compass.
    I haven't noticed any reduction in GPS signal quality while…
  • HRM-Run vs Running Dynamics Pod

    Since the HRM-Run is starting to irritate my skin on longer runs, I'm thinking of getting the Running Dynamics Pod for the running dynamics and using the 5X's built-in heart-rate sensor for heart-rate. I should get the same results that way I guess? Any…
  • RE: Garmin Venu 2plus light sensor area burns

    If you've already followed the suggestions as Garmin mentioned below, I'd reach out again to Garmin Product Support. Not sure why they are not helping. What was your method for contacting them? Phone or chat will be your best options for a more…

  • RE: Band colours. What do you have?

    That looks so tight it cannot be healthy...


    Actually very comfy. That's 6th hole from fully tightened. My hand is open, so that's the larger wrist diameter with my athletic forearms. I actually tighten the strap one notch if I record an activity with…
