I got Garmin Forerunner 620 .It seems that there must be some problem with it after quite a long tme being unused. Where can i find any store/engineer to fix it? would you recommend me some?

I’m still using my old Garmin 310XT! It takes forever to lock onto GPS in the city I live in but… I already own it!

Nothing wrong with a stopwatch!

Still using a 2 year old Garmin Forerunner 10. Besides a broken, and DIY repaired strap, still works great. In all weather and conditions.
Great write-up.

Agree, I bought a Forerunner 15 for my wife and does most everything I’d need at a fraction of the price of my 620. Small, step counter, speed and distance recorded well, and syncs with a HR monitor. But the Vivofit is pretty awesome with not having to deal with charging all the time.

Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind should my 620 die.

Pete: you should check the Garmin FR230, I’m very satisfied with it, has everything a runner needs and the Connect IQ capability is a huge plus now that apps will be capable of recording data.

I wouldn’t mind a smaller Gps watch (I have the 310xt right now) that has a step counter but like you said both work just fine right now

I will have to try those headphones now that Ultra season is here
