andydgg Dec 2012 2:18pm, 2 Dec 2012 48 posts	0 andydgg yes, and yes. Only problem is the clip that is used to connect to computer, I sent mine back because it would take ages to connect to transfer data it would charge fine though. Garmin sent me a new watch, clip and hr belt. think I saw them online somewhere for £115

Merry Muddiemas Dec 2012 1:20pm, 8 Dec 2012 255 posts	0 Merry Muddiemas Late - as usual - you've probably already received it! But I love my 210. Does all I need, so far with no real problems. The clip can be a bit fiddly and the satellite location can sometimes take longer than other times. I also had mine from Handtec & had no problems with them either. Basically all good.
idio Dec 2012 2:58pm, 8 Dec 2012 18509 posts	0 idio Thanks Merry Muddiemas I went for a Forerunner 10 in the end as I decided I only really wanted distance and time. I have got 305 but my sister inlaw has got it at the moment and I didn't really like wearing such a lump. I got 22% off at Wiggle so if I only use it for a short time I can sell it on later without losing to much money.

I've accidentally destroyed my ancient FR210 by breaking the body off the strap completely (no idea how, it was sitting in a bag on my desk). If anybody wants the charger cable, fmail me an address in the next day or so, or it's in the WEEEEEE bin with the watch.
