RIP Garmin

Garmin got charged two days ago.

Yesterday I went on a (fabulously nice) 2 mile run.

The run took 20 minutes.

Tonight I turned Garmin on and got a LOW BATTERY WARNING.

Sniff.

So I used to get 9.5 hours on a charge and now I'm getting 20 minutes.

I think that means Garmin has officially died on me.

I'm calling Garmin tomorrow to see whether or not the fabulous customer service I've heard about is an urban legend.

I have heard tales of just-out-of-warranty Garmins getting fixed for free.

I hope they take pity on me.

You know, it seems like EVERYONE'S Garmin has been dying the past couple of months. This is so weird.

I haven't bought one yet myself. I still use the old stopwatch, and after hearing about all these G's breaking down, I may just stick to my watch.

Hope you get yours fixed soon though.

Boo! Sometimes I think they don't make devices to last very long because they want you to buy a new one.
