Just wondering if anyone has a gps watch that has got plenty of life left in it and is approved for the GPSTC that they are looking to sell.
I'm 16 and don't really have the funds for a new one and I was given the idea to put up a post to see if anyone has one around.
Thanks

Ollie I've got a GW-60 watch with a broken band, I've never had a problem with it but I'll put on charge and make sure it still fires up. PM me your address and I'll mail tomorrow.

i think putting the watch in a wet cloth would deteriorate the accuracy, why not get a waterproof pouch ?

I did a comparison with a broken watch in my pocket and a new one on my wrist. So close it wasn't funny. Same test in a cloth wrist band. I'm anal and wanted to make sure but wanted to use the old broken watch before using the new one. I did this test a dozen times to make absolute sure. That's the results I found. Then a month later the broken watch died, and I had to use the new one anyway. 😒
