I purchased a Garmin 935 three years ago. I used it for two years without issue, but suddenly the battery began to drop quickly. I submitted it to a service center in Turkey to get it repaired. They told me that the battery needed to be replaced, but they couldn't do it in Turkey. Instead, they offered to buy me a new Garmin watch at a reduced price. However, the price they offered matched the market price.
My running pal purchased a Garmin 945 and utilized it for six months. However, he wanted to change it, so he sold me his watch for a fair amount. I used it for a year, yet the problem persisted. Again, the service center provided the same answer.
In short, I believe Garmin watches become unstable after two years, and I suspect that they are updated to deplete batteries more quickly. As a result, I've resolved not to buy Garmin watches again. I recommend you consider twice before purchasing Garmin devices.
Three years back, I bought a Garmin 935, and after two years of using it, the battery suddenly began draining quickly. I took it in for servicing, and they said they couldn't swap out the battery but could give me a discount on a new model instead. Hey, I got the new Garmin 945, but after only a yea...

I purchased a Garmin MK1 watch, and after just 1.5 years, the battery died. The first time I went in, they replaced it. However, when I returned for another battery replacement, I was told they no longer offer that service and suggested I buy a new model with a small discount. They provided no other...
I used to wear a Garmin Fenix 5S Plus, which is advertised as waterproof up to 100 meters. However, during a routine swim in the sea—no diving involved—the watch took in water and the screen became crystallized and unreadable. When I took it to Garmin’s Turkish distributor, Baytekin, I was told the...
The battery on my Garmin Fenix 5X swelled and ended up damaging the mainboard. I sent it to the authorized service center, and they told me the device cannot be repaired. Apparently, there are no available spare parts for it, which is shocking given the price I paid for this watch. It’s incredibly ...
