G'day speed legends,
I acquired one of these 7 months ago and after about 250 kms of GPS recording without issue, the results showing for my last two sessions don't show any detail, just the time on water. No track, no top speed etc. I took it back to Harvey Norman and they gave me A new watch under warranty. (Garmin's policy is to just give you a new watch, no questions asked)

I'm just wondering if anyone has had similar issues with the same watch.

No issues here with the exact same watch. Been using it for 2.5 years and still going strong. That said, it's not a great watch and wouldn't recommend it. I've posted details earlier in another topic.

It's a great warranty policy though. Much better than sending it back, waiting for weeks, and potentially getting a refurbished watch back.
