this thing is approx 6 months old, maybe. Probably more like 3-4 months.

Then, can't help you. Try the hard reset. But if that doesn't work, then I don't know what to say.

Is it still under warranty then? If draining it/refilling it doesn't reset the battery gauge and solve the problem, you should call Garmin. They will probably send you a new watch for free.

Roll, I have a 910 and the battery was shot within about a month after recieving it. Garmin replaced it no questions asked, was just a two week turn around. I only sent the watch back and they sent a whole new unit, box and everything, so I have two of everything which is kind of nice

So what's everyone using for hydration gear these days ?

I use an obsolete Camelpak Catalyst for short races and runs under 10 miles
For longer runs I use amphipod lite belt (velcro) with 2 bottles and an added on storage pouch for food items,etc....

I pretty much just wear my Camelbak for all runs. I have a hydration belt (some cheap brand from Wal-mart....had a Nathan and an Amphipod but didn't love them) but rarely use it. For races, I just use my Spi-belt for fuel and on course hydration. I do have a to core try cool Camelbak jersey I wear for longer trail races and obstacle races that have few (if any) water stops.

I've tried my camelbak and I have a fuel belt that holds 4 bottles but I always go back to regular 12 oz water bottles and just carry one in my hand for each 5-6 mile loop, set them on the hood on my car, grab one each time I pass by.

I want to do this but as a germaphob I am paranoid that passers-by may tamper with my water/fluids

I don't bring water on any run less than 10 miles. Anything over that and I bring two small (10oz?) handhelds. I've tried the fuel belt thing and I hate it.

I use a fuelbelt - not sure what the brand is - its turquoise and has two small bottles on it. Doesn' bother me so much in the winter but in the summer it chafes like crazy.

I didn't use a fuel belt until training for the 50K Trail Run.. I normally just work a water stop in my running route. There has been so many water stops during the marathons i've ran that i hadn't needed to carry a hydration belt. I do wear a spi belt during the marathon that carries gu.

Thanks Rollcast for the heads up from Runners Warehouse... I've became a hardcore Mizuno gal!! Was brand loyal with asics until I finally realized the narrow shoe was causing me blisters, tried Brooks, tried the Mizuno for the pretty color, and won't be going back. I have a fresh new pair waiting on me to break them in Smile

Well until Mizuno comes up with a decent successor to the Wave Universe 3 (or the 4 without the heel lip) I'll keep trying other shoes. I just ordered a pair of Merrell Men's Sonic Glove Barefoot Running Shoes. (Interesting, why doesn't that link appear as a link?) Zero heel/toe drop. Smile
