Hi, I have bought a Garmin Forerunner 205 around 1, 5 years ago and already the original battery life is down from 8 hrs. to max. 2 hrs. now. A call at the so called service line (hours waiting in a queue) reveals that not even Garmin can open the device to exchange a battery/rechargable. The same thing happpened to my previous model, also rendered unrepairable. Clever design by Garmin, because you have to buy a new one every 2 years or so. Keeps the sales figures up - or so you think.. I am definetely nver going to buy a Garmin product again, and as a committed runner I will advise the runner & cyclist fraternity against supporting this cash cow principle wherever I can.
So after all, milking your clients might not just work as well as you thought, Garmin...
I must warn everybody to by products from Garmin, they are simply designed to fill their pockets with absolutely zero service and support. Fortunately, there are many more products out there to choose from!
NEVER GARMIN AGAIN!!
