Forerunner 245 / Micro-scratches on the optical sensor

Axsimov over 4 years ago

Hello everyone,

I recently bought the Forerunner 246, and after two weeks of normal use, the optical sensor is micro-scratched.

Do you think this is embarrassing for the measure? And a problem for the long time ?

Thank you for your reply

I have one of these as well and have wondered the same.

Why would it be embarrassing when the only time you're going to see the underside of the watch is when charging?

As far as affecting performance, it won't. It's not like a camera sensor. It is just looking for color changes (blood pumping). Unless you take sandpaper to it, you're going to be fine.

It is a chronic problem for fr935 as well. Appearantly, 245 will have the same problem.
