I figured out the solution to this problem tonight. Get a 1/16" tension (roll) pin at a hardware. You wo be able to cut the pin to length. You will also have to CAREFULLY glue the pin in the hole. Works…
When it happened to my wife. I gave them a credit card number. They sent out a replacement right away. I was credited back the money when they received the defective watch. I’ve had to do it with mine …
I have had the same problem. I make jewellery, and have a lot of sead beeds which have holes in them. These beads are tiny and I found one small enough to fit into the recess but the hole was big enough for the pin to fit. I have pushed this in really tight. I will update when I know it has definitely worked as I have only just tried it.
Same as Gizmutt - contacted Garmin and they are replacing the watch for a refurbed one. Seems a bit drastic just for a pin lug, but hey ho, if thats what they're doing who am I to argue.
