Purchased a 945 yesterday off the the Garmin website directly, bought a second hand 935 this year which gave up the ghost however the vendor i bought it off of honoured the warranty but could only give a refund. So to save messing like that i said id save up and buy a newer model direct off the site however reading the reviews online is not filling me with any confidence whatsoever at the minute there is a lot of people saying the holiday sale is never honoured and they take ages to ship. Has anyone here any experience like this with them? As far as i know there is no garmin stores in ireland aswell am i correct in saying that?

Don't know if Garmin have stores anywhere! For the price on the 945 on the garmin.ie website I'd be tempted to pay an extra €45 for the 955 here.

Anyone have an issue with the 235 not charging? Bought a second clamp because though first one was broken. Neither will charge watch. USB doesn't acknowledge that it's connected 235 to laptop or nothing happens when I used power plug with cable. Watch is due a system update but battery is too low to run update, maybe that's the problem? Any help would be great.

Hi there. I got the 245 music a couple of weeks ago. I was using the 235 for a few years which was working fine but the 254 music was a birthday gift.

First thing I noticed on its first outing was that the pace definitely seemed off, by a good 20 seconds, based on what I know as my usual easy running pace. I tried syncing it with the mobile app and on my next run, I wore both watches and they seemed to be displaying the correct paces.

This morning I did 9 miles and I don't think there was a single mile that showed the right pace,very frustrating.

Would love to hear if anyone has had similar issues and if they know of a fix for this issue?

Has anyone else had issues with recent updates? I synced up to the latest 2 weeks ago and all my stored data was cleared from the watch - workouts, history etc. Not such a big deal really but I synced up again yesterday (to the latest software version which is 12.10) and also charged my watch to 100% and I woke up this morning and my battery was at 1% and has since died. I have a Garmin 245, close to 4 years old now but no issues up until this.

No problem with my 245 after update. I had a battery issue like your on my 255 though. Garmin eventually agreed to replace it after I complained about the 2 weeks of repetitive questions they were asking me. Hopefully all will be sorted when the replacement arrives next Monday.

My 945 took that 12.10 upgrade yesterday. I haven't had any betty issues but the HR data was all over the plebs on my run that evening. Did a quick Google and it seemed that the upstairs was to fix some optional hr issues, hopefully the update hasn't broken what was working perfectly. No issue with the battery though, level is where I'd expect it to be.

I wore 2 Garmins (245 & 255) on a race recently, 1 connected to strap and the other getting the rate from the watch sensors. The only difference I noticed was that the strap was about a second or 2 quicker and heart rate was only 1 or 2 higher or than strap.

Strange one with my forerunner 935. After working just fine for years, it will no longer connect to any wifi network while other garmin devices in the house connect no problem.

I tried the usual factory reset and deleted all data from the watch, it's on version 21

I am open to suggestions but I have a feeling it's back to garmin with this one

My vo2 max decreased randomly without any real decrease in performance . I don’t hold much stock by it or the race predictions but at the same time I don’t like to see a decreases. I checked the max heart rate data on garmin connect and it had dropped by 3 beats . I never changed the max from the age calculation as it seemed reasonable enough ( my heart rate rarely goes higher) . I then checked the watch and that’s increased by 3 beats . The vo2 max calculation appears to be based of the garmin connect number .

Has this happened to anyone ? I think I may have had an update recently ( garmin 245). I assume I just change them both back to the age based calculation ? Is there anyway to tell when garmin made the change ?

Anybody know how to change a battery in the GARMIN HRM PRO CHest strap?

Critical load ratio data seems to have appeared in the last S/W update on the 255

Under the reports section (left side on the connect website) there are options to check out LT, HRV, HR etc over the last 7 days, month and year

Hi folks, which is the best GPS option to use for open water swimming on the Garmin 945? Both sea swimming and river swimming. The last river swim i swam about 300m against the current and it read as about 780m IIRC. Would that be taking into account the fact i was swimming against the current? Thanks in advance
