My Fitbit broke, and their refurbished Garmin is half of new.
One year warranty. Anyone have experience with them?

Friends have bought from them with good experiences.

Bought outright? No. But all of my Garmin units are factory refurb units replaced under partial or full warranty, and they have worked fine.
I didn't think there was such a thing as a bought new Garmin GPS unit in the wild more than 18 months old.

Does "almost" count? In actuality, I DID purchase a refurb 920xt from them. But, 15 minutes after clicking "purchase", I found the same refurb unit cheaper on Amazon with free next day prime shipping. So, I cancelled the order from Factory Outlet store and bought the Amazon one.
PS: Perfectly happy with the refurb unit. It has worked flawlessly---8 months later...going strong. Only one VERY small (2mm) blemish on the bezel....that I just had to hunt around to find. Same factory warranty as new.

Well, that doesn't suck. Do you recall who the Amazon seller was?

My purchase was made in September 2016, $222 before tax. The order history says "Amazon.com, LLC". But, it also says "currently unavailable" on the product page. A broader search of Amazon for any refurb 920xt turned up zero results.
Link to obsolete product page:

Garmin Garmin Forerunner 920 Blue/Black NOH (Newly Overhauled)
Sold by: Amazon.com LLC
Not much help. Sorry.

No worries. Just pulled the trigger - figured for less than half of retail and 40% less than I can find on the interwebs, why quit stressing over $60.
Stress will begin if this is a POS like my Fitbit!

I bought my refurbished 920xt from them last summer. So far, nothing but outstanding performance.

So, for those who purchased from the Garmin Refurb Store - is there an indication on the device that it is a refurb? I have some SanDisk Sansa MP3 players - refurbs - that are labeled as such with an "R" or "refurb" on the device. Similar for Garmin. I ask b/c I have a 920xt replaced under warranty - no indication as a refurb. So, trying to determine if "refurb" indication is common on Garmin devices...
Nothing on the device itself, just the packaging.
