Garmin repair?

[mrshandy]

So I ate it on my way home from my track workout tonight. Ouch, road rash is no joke. Not injured too bad just cuts on my hand and shoulder. My garmin strap broke. It still works fine but I need a new strap or a new pin. Is there someplace I can go to get this done? Do watch repair stores cover sports watches as well?

Thanks!

The Garmin website sells replacement straps, for maybe like $12ish plus shipping. Or the Garmin store stocks them or has replacement parts, but they charge for the repair, so the cost of shipping and/or the in person repair option cost the same in the end. I had to replace mine last fall and had no issues doing it myself after ordering from the site.

Good luck with the road rash! I used liquid bandaid on the cuts on my hands/palms, which was a lifesaver!

Thanks! I will check on the website. I don't know if there are any Garmin stores nearby. I have an older version so I hope they still carry mine.

Glad that you are okay and your main concern is your Garmin.

Mr. GT bought a replacement band for his old red Garmin at a watch repair shop.

yea the site can be a little hard to navigate, but bands should be on there somewhere!!  hope you find it!  I had mine duct-taped for a while...did not work out so well, haha.

i also ordered a velcro strap from amazon for my garmin. I still had the pin though.

Hope you are feeling okay today!
