Garmin Edge 200 water resistance

They are fine for running etc, I use mine all the time, if I don't need the real time feedback, I keep it in the small pocket inside my running shorts, with it set on auto-lap at 1 mile intervals so it beeps each mile and it holds signal just fine.

Just got back from my ride home, loving the detailed record of my ride, slightly shameful performance this evening though... I am going to upload and check out the mapping bits tomorrow.

Had no issue with it finding GPS signal at all, it took a few moments when I switched it on the first time, but when I did so again this evening it was almost instant. The backlight is also really useful as the return journey for me is always dark!

Well, took it on my dog walk this morning. It seemed to record it ok even though it stopped and started a couple of times. It was a very overcast morning and I was under quite thick tree cover a lot which probably isn't ideal.

Do you have it on 'auto pause?'

Yes, it stopped when opening and closing a couple of gates which I expected it to do but it occasionally stopped and started whilst still walking at a decent speed so I presume it was losing signal briefly under the trees.
