Garmin FR70

I bought my Garmin FR70 sports watch in January 2015. A few weeks ago it just stopped working. I took it to the Garmin repair store in Maitland as it was no longer under waranty. I was told by Barry that is irreparable but if I left it with him he could give me a new one for R1250. I bought mine for R1600. I thought a was buying a quality product that wouls last at least 5 years. I am very disappointed by the after sales service to say the least.
