I bought a Garmin 910xt used back in January of this year. 95% of the time it works perfectly, but it has had it's buggy moments. That is why I am selling it cheap if anyone is interested. I have done zero troubleshooting on it, so it could be as simple as just needing a reboot. The issues are few and far enough between that it hasn't got me to actually sit down and try to work it out, but at the same time has given me enough of a reason to buy a new toy
(a 920
).
For full disclosure, here are the issues I have had:
- During a full IM, it worked the entire time however when I went to download the race data it only showed the swim and part of the bike and none of it downloaded, that is the only time I've lost a workout....but that REALLY annoyed me as I really wanted to see that data.
- When scrolling through history, it sometimes will get stuck on one and make a long beeeeeeeeep before moving to the next.
- I've had one run where it was off by a good 0.2miles for a 4 mile run, which is a lot more than what I ever had with my old watch
(I will admit that the run was in a park and was wooded
) but again I've run in that park with my old watch which seemed much more accurate.
- It takes a long time to upload workouts to the computer. This is the one bit of troubleshooting I did do, which was remove the old Garmin connect programs from my computer and it did help a bit. But it still takes quite a bit more time than I'd expect, or that my old watch took.
- It froze on me a week ago and I had to let the battery run out before it started working again
(that was the event that prompted me to order the new watch
)
Since it froze last week, I've been using it and it has went back to working fine, but I want to be fully honest before selling. Like I said, it could be as simple as a reboot, or this could be the normal level of buggy-ness that comes with this particular watch, I don't know, but I didn't have any of these issues with my old running GPS watch which was a Garmin 405.
Watch comes with all the original packaging and information. Includes charger and HRM.
