When they moved the stones forward an hour at Stonehenge you probably had to re-align your watch by moving widdershins around the Eye Stone. Should be okay once we drop back to GMT in October.
Kieren Aug 2021 12:31pm, 23 Aug 2021 4,213 posts	0 Kieren Eawoman45, my 305 syncs (via USB) to garmin express. It took about 5 minutes to find satellites but I think that might have been normal back in 2006 when I bought it. I took it for an hour run and the battery was 50% when I finished. I tried to give it away to low income or runners in need at my club but no takers. I think most would just use their phone these days before stepping up to a dedicated device. FWIW, it seemed to track more accurately than my 245. I've only tested it once because of the time to get GPS and it being quite uncomfortable.
