Was anyone else’s Garmin sluggish this morning? Mine took an age to pick up a GPS signal and left me hanging around at my starting point like a wet Wednesday in Widnes for five minutes.

Then afterwards it took me three attempts to log my run.

More generally, isn’t Mr Garmin

I haven't tried mine today (no running day today). But I have had lots of issues in the past months. Apparently it had to do something with something in general. So not with me alone. You can hook up your watch on your laptop and check whether you have all the latest updates. Also turn the watch of once in a while, fully off and then back on. I don't say this helps, but it won't hurt either.

Mine was fine finding the satellite, and syncing my run on my phone, but then I wanted to send a route to my watch, and it took ages and ages to load Garmin Express. I had to restart my computer in the end.

Not what you're looking for?
