Garmin 110

[bostonmichelle]

So I tried to use my 110 yesterday for a run outside and it died 1 mile into my run. I'm slightly annoyed since I have used it here and there but haven't used it for more than 15 minutes or so. I went to charge it today and am having issues, I found a way to do it if I hold the light but down and plug it in but really that is annoying and I know I'm going to forget. I'm considering returning and buying the 220 instead. Anyone have any input on 110 vs. 220? 

DH bought it as a gift for me on Amazon but their return policy is so vague at this point that I'm worried they won't take the return or won't allow it because I used it. I'm going to try and chat with them and see if I can return without a hassle.

I have a 110 and love it. Have never had any charging issues, other than sometimes the clip doesn't get on quite right so I have to be careful to line that up when I go to charge it. Sounds like yours might have a problem that isn't the whole model, but just that specific one. I'd definitely talk to Amazon.

My DH actually got me the 220 for my birthday last month but I ended up basically giving it to him because I love my 110, and he didn't have one at all. I think I'll eventually upgrade to the 220 when my 110 gives out (it's a couple years old), but I'm not in a big rush.

Hope that's somewhat helpful!

Yeah no that is hard enough but its definitely secure and I googled and found this is a semi-common issue. It looks like Amazon is going to waive all the shipping fees for me. Now I'll be without and get a bit to think about it and I have another $100+ on Amazon for books we returned.

Oh no. This is the one I have been looking at! I may need to do more research before deciding on which one I want to save up for.
