Brogue Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Garmin upgraded my old FR405 to a 910XT for R2212, door to door, in 10 days. Sweet deal, great service!
Brighter-Lights Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Edge 800/500 batteries are very easy to replace and cost under R300 from the UK incl. everything.
Baaisikilist Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 is upgrading from the 705 to the 800 worth it ? I'd also like to know...
mtb_Josh Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013   Battery maybe? How old is the HRM? Maybe chuck a new battery in and see what happens. Thanks, that was my first thought as well. Replaced the battery and still the same thing.  Happened to me. Tried a new battery but this did not help. I bent the connecting pin inside the battery housing and bobs your uncle. Did phone armin and they are willing to replace my 305 for a 500 for less than R1200 with all the goodies.Don't think it is a good deal though as you cannot flag waypoints. was offered the 800 for R2100.........Just too much for a toy I feel? I'm convinced the problem is in the strap itself as the module works fine when I use a borrowed strap.  The premium straps are @#$% and garmin has confermed this I have been through 3 in a year. send it back with proof of purcase and they will replace it, but ask for the hard all in one strap. Well that sucks... Where did you send it back to? I think I might need to go through agents as I bought mine from amazon..

Baaisikilist Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013   What irks you about the 705?What do you hope to gain with the 800 vs the 705? Nothing 'irks' me about it, but like upgrading to a new car or nicer house, new gadgets are always cool.I'd like to know if the 800/810 is better than my 705. If I take the 705 in to sort out the problem and it's terminal, I'll possibly upgrade.
TopFuel Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 This okes really reviews a cycling product:http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2010/08/garmin-edge-800-in-depth-first-look.htmlGive it a read and decide if its what you're wanting.
An3 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 I'd also like to know... Yes - I found the 705 very slow (navigating menus etc) Meezo 1
An3 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 My Polar S725x recently started giving problems. I took it to the agents and they said "Sorry we no longer carry spares" For new models - I cannot fault Polar's service. BUT Garmin wins hands-down (i.m.o) for customer service.
Meezo Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 is upgrading from the 705 to the 800 worth it ? I'd also like to know... For what i paid, absolutely!!!  I've yet to load race maps etc. But we used it to get to Tulbagh once. And it work lovely. To date mine has given me not a single issue
