Fitz Jul 2014 8:31am, 17 Jul 2014 883 posts	0 Fitz I have the opportunity to replace my Garmin 610 which is a great piece of kit but which is dying: battery life is on the floor, the back is so corroded it has started deeply scratching my wrist. Interested in hearing the experiences of people that have used both the 610 and 620 - if money were no object (i.e. someone else is paying!), would you get a replacement 610 or go for the new-fangled 620. Why? Thanks!

At least with a 610 you can rely on the reported pace to be reasonably accurate, particularly if you use the footpod.
