For those who have this watch-
Recently, it has been taking a while to get a satellite even when I'm not around buildings or trees or whatever. It is really annoying because when it says loading satellites when I'm trying to get a signal, and I think that it's almost ready, (the loading satellite bar on the screen is almost full) the bar goes back to 75-80%. Similar situations? Advice?
Thanks for reading.
Me too. About ready to take a hammer to it.
This has been happening to me lately as well.
Yeah, I have that issue. It also freezes every time I go to charge it so I have to reset it. Annoying, but not as annoying as standing there freezing my butt of ready to run and just staring at my watch for 3 minutes while it locates satellites.
Go into the history and delete all the saved data. I had same problem, now I down load runs on garmin connect and every month clear out history. No problems after doing this.
Look it up online. You have to hold down all the buttons in a certain pattern. Once you hear some beeps all will be cleared and it will get satellites again!

Thanks. I would, but the connect.garmin.com is under maintenance, again.
