Did a ride yesterday for 3 hours during a light rainy evening. My new Edge 1040 only accumulated approx 100 feet of my last 550 feet of climbing. (3900 ft total for Edge). I was also recording with my $250 Garmin Instict 2 watch which recorded 4486 ft vs Strava 4445 ft. The Edge 1040 vs Instinct 2 are usually within 1-3% of each other and within 5% of Strava. Yesterday, the watch recorded all the final climbs and descents whereas the Edge only didn't. The Edge was front mounted. Garmin support says I must have gotten water in the port. According to other Edge forums, this has been a longstanding issue for years but was supposedly fixed in the 1030?
Anyone have a solution to keep water and/or dust out of the sensor port?
(Note: I also find it odd the watch has behaved flawlessly for me over 6 months whereas a top of the line Edge underperorms. I also had an issue with water in the start/stop button, making it impossible to end the activity! After 3 weeks, I'm thinking I should have kept the Karoo 2)
