Just wondering what everyone's experience is with Garmin? They seem to be the go-to running watch brand so I assume they're generally ok BUT.... I've had mine just 2 years, if even that. They've already replaced it once as the gps was all over the place. Now it is completely dead. It will charge to 100% but when I try to use it then it won't switch on. I've contacted their customer services who fair play came back straight away but they're offering a replacement for £77 which will take up to 10 days to arrive. They don't even make that model any more. It strikes me that I'd be better off paying a bit extra for a brand new watch but given that this was my first experience with Garmin I'm not feeling inspired to go with them again....

My car satnav is from TomTom and I had reason to contact their customer services and that incident has ensured I will never buy another TomTom product.
Suggests Maplins, but that's been gone for a while.
Are you concerned with functionality or aesthetics? If it's the former, DC Rainmaker is the way forward:

Good luck.
The only minor issue is the recent bug that meant it was doing a software update daily. But as this only takes a minute it's not too onerous.
