Forerunner 955 Blue Triangle during Ultra

Hi,

I was wearing my 955 during a long Ultra (330Km 24,000M climb - Tor des Geants). It took me 103hrs to complete but about half way the watch locked up with a blue triangle. I was unable to reset it in any way. Having access to the time of day / Distance covered / current altitude are so important even phycologically I was devistated. Every little thing at that distance has a big impact.

My immediate thought is that the tracklog gets to a point where it is too big and just shuts the watch down (I was using navigation at the time also). I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this also as I don't want to wear a watch that has an issue with long ultras?

I have logged a ticket 3 days ago and suspect they will replace the watch but would love to know that most people have no issue wearing this watch over 24hrs+? Is it suitable for long Ultras?

Thanks
Billy

First of all, congrats on this major achievement!

I'm afraid there won't be too many (if any) here doing this kind of ultras even though i think i read such a report before (watch crashing during a very long ultra)

Only done a 9 hr one myself and luckily that worked fine.
