See you on the other side! I love my Garmin F10. It's a real boon

Oh boy. The stats get very fun. Particularly the lifetime totals.

Ohh great! I love mine too, very reliable, and gives you little gold cups for PBs. Very motivating x

Not much chance of checking out any stats as the site is down and has been for quite some time. Very frustrating for Simon if he just took delivery of his new Garmin.

Not got it yet. When you say "quite some time" are we talking weeks/days/hours?

Ooh well done, I got mine earlier this week and am still trying to get to grips with it - I'm not what you'd call technical!?

Just connected to Garmin connect but can't seem to get all my stats off,, there are some things the screen flashes up as you stop the run - like your pb for the mile or best 5k time - and no matter what I do I cant get that back on the phone, nor from the computer once it's sinc'd - can only see the average time over the full time I've been out... will keep trying

Hope it comes quick - the worst part is waiting :)

If you mean it doesn't show your PB on the GC site, you need to accept each record as you make it. Go to records and you should find it. xx

erm - where do I do that? on the watch or the puter?? Think I need to find someone close by to give me a demo!!

When you are on Garmin Connect (on the comp), click the three horizontal bars on the left and a menu will slide out...then click personal records. XX

Garmin was down for scheduled maintenance. Hope it's all ok again now

Looks like it! I just tried connect.garmin.com/en-US/ and it seems OK.

It is a bit flaky sometimes and it irks me when it doesn't pick up our hills! You kill yourself doing a ruddy gert hill and Garmin fails to spot it. Bah! Or it represents the face of Everest as a pimple! Diabolical!
