After
2.5 years of faithful service, the side button (up and down buttons) decided to
give way. About a month ago, I observed the fogging up of the front panel
crystal during my run. I checked thru the case after the run and found that the
down button is punctured. Don’t observed water ingression, but the unit will
fogged up when the power turned on. Also, the down button no longer working,
but I was lucky to have the last run with the virtual partner pace set to my
target marathon pace, and all other functionality were working too. I can still using it to guide me thru the SCKLM (even
though I missed my personal target).
Now
the unit was sent back for repair, and I need to continue my workout with the
Polar FT4. As all the training for sub 4 was completed, I only planned easy
runs for these few weeks just to maintain the momentum. Most of the workout
will be running at easy pace with <140BPM. Still some adjustment needed to
run solely by effort, but I think soon I will get used to it. Hopefully 910XT
will return home timely for the APBIM.
Garmin
announced the all new
920XT (link to DC Rainmaker review page, 6 Nov updated in-depth review
here), which look really great. It will definitely on my
wish list, but properly only get mine towards end of next year.

They usually respond very fast.
If your warranty expired, the most will cost you around USD99 to "recondition" the unit. Depends on the situation or damage, they will advise you the cost after their preliminary check. Repair service usually took 1 month (4-5 weeks).

ReplyDeletethe advantage of the Forerunner 4xx series was just to have the minimum of physical buttons thanks to the touch dial, this to avoid these problems that afflicted the 205/305, 310xt, 910xt, etc.
ReplyDeleteI have the exact same problem. Down button punctured, and now, upon closer inspection, the rubber over the Enter button is also starting to crack... It's a shame to see such a device go to waste for such a problem.
