Garmin Vivoactive 3

published

The Garmin Vivoactive 3 was the replacement model offered by Rebel Sport, because my $400 Garmin Vivoactive leaked and didn't work. The GPS is inaccurate and Garmin are poor manufacturers.

Garmin 735XT and fenix 5s plus

published

First experience with 735XT was positive for a warch bought in 2016.However during one of my swim few weeks ago (2 years and 6 months) it went full of water and game over. So I decided to upgrade to fenix 5s plus 800$ worth of watch. I can't be more disappointed and see that after 3 years basically the technology went backwards, the battery drain out after 4 days only, the garmin pay requires randomly Pin at transactions which is really frustrating for you and people waiting for you to play with the PIN. HR sensor still grossly imprecise. Maps hard to use as it extremely small. I would not repeat.

Garmin 520

published

Garmin 520 would not charge and can not be seen by the computer when plugged in. When I informed Garmin they said that the USB port was damaged. They then proceeded to tell me it was NOT covered by warranty! this implied it was my fault and that I damaged it. I have many products that require charging with cords and I have had none that I have had trouble with. Really, how hard is it to plug a USB or another charging cord into a device. Really GARMIN, you blame your consumers for your poor quality control. Worse customer service I have ever experienced.

Zero Customer Service & Faulty Product

published

I purchased a brand new Garmin Instinct 2 weeks ago. Took it for 2 runs and a bike ride and the watch is not tracking my kilometres at all.
Tried calling a few times (hold time was up to 1 and half hours), wrote emails (no response), contacted via social media (no response).
Finally got through today only to be told I need to download additional software and/or factory reset the watch to fix any 'bugs'. Why would a brand new watch have 'bug'?
Have asked for a refund, no response.
So I now have a $400 watch that does not work.

Garmin GPS NUVI 3597

published

I bought the GPS a couple of years ago, the maps were terrible, the device totally user unfriendly. Gave up on using it after a few weeks. I will NEVER buy another Garmin product!

Good but too hard to read in daylight

published

Even on max light setting I cannot read the screen. Really dim. New phone and cannot connect to Bluetooth. Have wasted lots of time and still not connected.
Stairs counter inaccurate.
The rest is good.

Extremely poor after sales service

published

I purchased an in-car gps sat nav. It came with free annual updates if I registered online - which I did. The first update did not work and when I contacted customer service they were really unhelpful and refused to honour the agreement given to me. I would not trust them again.

I am still getting billed 5 years after cancelling account.

published

I have tried again to cancel a subscription I cannot remember starting. Garmin Australia does not have contact us form on there website or phone number. I have just spent 45 minutes trying to cancel this account that I do not use.

works for 4.5 years

published

Garmin will allow me to purchase a new gps at a slight discount but I think I am better off just using Google Maps or WAZE. Garmin told me I should contact Microsoft when its map update would not install. Message was that previous map could not be uninstalled. Cheaper just to use data on phone.

I bought a truck GPS 3 years ago from JV hi-fi. Last year my GPS stopped being charged by the holder provided. I emailed them last year, but never replied.

Update:
Garmin customer service still haven't replied to my email that I sent about a week ago. It's pointless ringing them because I'll be kept on-hold forever. It's so unbelievable that a company would treat their customers like this!

Still waiting for a response. Not expecting to hear back from them now. I've given up!
