=Garmin Fenix 2 Issues=
I've had similar GPS accuracy issues with the Fenix 2. In fact, the Fenix 2 is the only device I've ever had that has given the "lost satellite reception" message on my usual running route. Because of these issues Garmin replaced my Fenix 2 under warranty, and below are the results for the original and new watches. The replacement watch also gave "lost satellite reception" repeatedly and the error values for the Fenix 2 do not reflect these problems as the data from those runs was useless for analysis.

[[File:Fenix2 Getting Lost.jpg|none|thumb|500px|This is an example of just how bad the Fenix 2 can be. This is a short run, with the start and finish in the same place. The track up to marker 18 is not bad, but then the Fenix 2 loses reception for a couple of miles. When it gets reception back, it tracks wildly off course, ending up with a position that's out by around a mile.]]

Notice how messy the rest of the track is as well.]][[File:Fenix2 Getting Lost4.jpg|none|thumb|500px|Here you can see the Fenix 2 track is a confused mess.]]|}
