For anybody that's had this watch more than a couple of months, any issues with the exposed charging contacts corroding from perspiration during use?

I purchased this for my wife about a year ago after each of us going thru 3 Garmins because they wouldn't take a charge. Not a single issue yet. I also switched out to a Timex (different model) and no issues with charging or corroding on that one either, and it is in year 2 of use. IMHO, they all use the same chipset and software for the GPS, so go with the company that has been making watches for the longest time.

I can not answer this, it didnt fit nor did i like enought to wear or use for more 1 use & my hubby said he couldnt hear me, everything I was saying sounded muffled, so I hung up disconnected bluetooth on phone & watch & called back on phone without being on the watch, but the charger is wierd its prongs that fit in the watch & u only get usb plug, not the the eletrical end for wall plug!

Played a few times with the bluetooth connected to my iPhone. Haven't had any issues with it disconnecting during the round. Actually noticed last time I played, that it was a bit annoying. ALL notifications that appear on your iPhone (i.e. emails, texts, application notifications, etc.) appear on the watch and makes it tedious to get back to the distance screen or clear all notifications during a hole, but that may just be me. Hopefully that helps. Definitely love the watch, I wear it beyond just playing, just as an everyday watch. Considering its cost, might as well get as much use out of it.

My experience was that the watch was freezing while running. Was it because of sweat or not but that is what happened with me and therefore I returned. Thank you.

I've only used the dark band and no issues. I wear it continuously unless charging the "bit" or "bean".

i purchased mine this year and no problems with the battery so far, just after every round you play it has to be recharged , now if your just wearing the watch as an every day watch then the battery what i read will last up to 8 moths without a charge but i'm sure there's a 800# you can call if you feel the battery is bad

Sounds like it is defective to me. The 1st watch we had was amazing. We bought another one for our youngest and had to return it cause it was defective :( good luck

I have had the HR monitor for 6 months (Feb 2014) and have not had one problem with charging. It appears to me to the problem has been resolved

I've had the watch over 2 years now and I have not had any prpbls with this watch. The battery so far has seen its fair share of usage.

We are having the same issue. Been using almost every day for over a year, and even after changing the battery there are issues. The battery case actually is corroding inside! Want to contact company to see suggested lifespan. Otherwise, we've loved it so far!!!

it is good if u have the luck that get a watch that works, i've read that many people are complaining about this (i am one of those people). it worked fine just about 3 months, then the problem is that it shuts down every time i use it and doesnt save my info or even the time. i havent been able to repair it since...

I use it while I am running, with the included wristband. It gets a little wet from sweat, but I am careful to take it off quickly after I am done. I have been using it like this since November 2014, with no problems. YMMV

I don't know, but understand, if this item has any issue after a year, they will tell you to throw it out... sorry, but this happened to me... at 14 months post purchase, a plastic button cover fell off... they told me my only option was to buy a whole new watch! The button cover just snaps on, but they will not send a new one! Beware

I had similar issues with watches (fogged crystals) and other items getting wet. I took several packs of the small silica gel (come with tennis shoes for example) and put them in a zip lock bag with the item after the bulk of the water is dried off (maybe a day after removed from water, allowed to air dry) then put it in the ziplock with the silica gel packets. It will remove the water, but if the water did damage to a circuit board or LCD, then you're out of luck Brother.

No, that's not normal. I suggest you to plug-in the watch to the charger, that should help. Cheers
