SPR Dec 2022 11:27pm, 7 Dec 2022 39,156 posts	0 SPR I did up in the 220 and 230 but not in the 245 or my current 255.
Kieren Dec 2022 11:31pm, 7 Dec 2022 4,458 posts	0 Kieren I use a thin glass protector on my 245. I fell off my bike with the 235 and scratched the screen in the slide. Pretty sure a screen protector would have stopped that. Garmin wouldn't sell just a part for DIY and offered to replace for I think £80. Not worth it - so I lived with the annoying scratch until I got the 245

Kieren Dec 2022 12:00am, 8 Dec 2022 4,461 posts	0 Kieren The 235 screen was plastic - so easy to scratch. I can't remember what the 245 is - also plastic I think?
