    I got a Garmin Forerunner watch with heart rate monitor and have been having some trouble and was hoping to find a solution.

    The stopwatch and heart rate monitor seemed to work perfectly. I did an 8 mile run two days ago and when I looked at it after, it said my distance was 0 miles. I figured I must have done something wrong or the sweat dripping on it messed it up or something. Yesterday, I did 6 miles and kept checking the watch the whole time, and the distance stayed at 0, even though the heart rate and stopwatch worked correctly.

    Has this happened to anybody before?

    Did the watch acquire satellites before you started running? If you start before it does, many times it won't record anything.
