I had the same problem with mounts breaking on my edge 705 and then came up with this solution

 

Went to local hardware store and bought a roll of this.....

Plain roll of single sided black foam rubber at around R10 for the roll.

 

Cut two pieces off stuck them on top of each other and then stuck it underneeth the garmin unit in front of the bracket. Made sure the bracket was not pulled too tight on the cable ties and have never since broken a bracket and have replaced to foam rubber once in a year.

Peter from GPS Gadgets in Steenberg delivers a great service. My Forerunner 50 broke, since it was still under guarentee I took it to Peter. 4 weeks later he personally delivered a replacement to my office in the city. Thanks Peter! Clap

felty so the rubber caused friction on the unit which would then prevent it from slipping out ??? damm clever idea that ClapClap

The unit is mounted from the side but the foam rubber just keeps enough support under the unit so the shock from the road is absorbed in the foam rubber and not the actual mount and therefore placing the mount under unecesarry strain..

I don't want to burst your bubble, but personally I wouldn't call 4 weeks for a warranty replacement very good service. In fact I would be seriously hacked off that my watch was out of action for 1/12 of its warranty life.
