Garmin Smartwatch and Wearables thread

I'm sad. My Venu 2's battery is starting to give issues. In the past I managed to get 10+ days if I didn't use GPS, now not so much. I fully charged it last night. 12 hours later and it is already <80% battery.

in the same boat as you.
 
It seems that my escapades of replacing my Venu 2's battery led to its ultimate downfall. Opened it up to take a look the other night and saw some corrosion, which can only mean I didn't seal the watch properly when I did the replacement.

Cleaned the corrosion and connected everything and the sensors came back to life, so that's a win. I am giving it to a friend at work if I can assemble it properly and it still works, but I have no faith in it living for much longer.

I wish these things were a bit more repair friendly.

The new FR70 / 170 has a replaceable battery.
