Swany05 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Has anyone had issue with the F3 losing distance traveled during an activity? this has now happened on 3 separate occasions, either during a long trail run or an OCR event. The map shows the route traveled but not the pace or distance. Highly frustrating trying to track progress or mileage on my gear. AndreL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harryn Posted October 5, 2018 Share My watch just wont connect to wifi. It says “cannot find a known wifi network. This has been going on forever. Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter-morgan Posted October 5, 2018 Share With all the hassles I am hearing about the Fenix 3, I am even happier with my FR235, does what I want with minimal issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanD Posted October 13, 2018 Share Ok do I've manually updated the watch as per instructions but it still keeps asking for an update. Any idea what else I can do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoR Posted October 14, 2018 Share Ok do I've manually updated the watch as per instructions but it still keeps asking for an update. Any idea what else I can do?What happens if you ignore/delete the update? Do you still get asked to update. Had a similar issue a few months back and the above sorted it out. Something to do with the update file getting stuck in your Garmin Connect App... You are basically ignoring/deleting the update you have already done, so not missing out anything Edited October 14, 2018 by NicoR AlanD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanCT Posted November 14, 2018 Share I've just upgraded my phone to Android 9/Pie. Now I can't connect via Bluetooth. Anyone else experienced the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeubok Posted December 11, 2018 Share We were camping in Richards Bay this past weekend, and went for a swim in the harbour. After a while I got out and parked off under the shade, only to realize I had lost my watch! Ran back to the spot where I swam and found a piece of the strap that had broken off. Watch was gone.. Went into the water and started feeling around with my toes, no luck.. Then after searching for 10 mins, in chin deep water, I found it!!! Was flippen lucky to get it back Dexter-morgan and Vetplant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeubok Posted December 11, 2018 Share Missed out on a good opportunity to upgrade LOL, a mate of mine said the exact same thing! Watch isn't insured, so would've had to fork out 7k+ for a new Fenix 5. And I'm more than happy with the 3.. What concerns me though is this aftermarket strap that broke so easily. I can't remember where I bought it from, I think it was Takealot. Will rather pay a few Rand more and look for a genuine Garmin strap chl1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
