I remember that Garmin were supplying a refurbished watch for £50(ish) if you sent yours back, anyone know if they still do this?

Sorry no idea how much garmin charge but would possibly be interested in getting mine refurbished. Had mine too for 6 years and I would say it has no more than 3 hours charge left.
