And Garmin also do the £50 or £60 thing, once out of warranty, that you can get a replacement if it breaks. I used that a couple of times to extend life of older Garmins because it was the cheapest way of getting a working Garmin, rather than forking out for new one. G

As above.
My 2 nd or 3rd Garmin is dying after > 5 years service. It’s done ok - lasted as long as I did at 2018 Comrades 11hr55 For first ever DNF, and probably helped me on about 30-40 marathons so doesn’t really owe me much.
Since I fell and bashed screen a couple of months ago , moving function hasn’t worked 99% time , so everything recorded as run, but not being able to change the time easily has been a real hassle , especially with travelling across time zones recently.
