Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Before that, my Forerunner 610 was replaced three times because the back kept falling apart. Think I've had four watches since and only one has had any issues beyond software glitches.

I think that's the best point - they have great customer service *and* their products are usually pretty good too. The best of both worlds!!

Just me that thinks it's an odd location for their first store here?

We only know them for the running/cycling watches etc but they do a lot of marine navigation and diving stuff too, so on that basis Southampton is probably ideal for them.

Their main European offices is just outside Southampton, so also makes sense from that perspective.

I didn't know about the aviation side of things. I don't know how confident I'd be on a plane knowing that it's navigating with the same sort of tech that gets me round my local bike ride!

...maybe the pilot should disclose his sleep score before take-off :-)
