I was having trouble with my Garmin foot pod so I e-mailed Garmin. They replied to my e-mail (shocking these days) and even sent me a couple more replies over the holiday weekend trying to diagnose the problem.
Yesterday I had a package on my door; they sent a new foot pod, and the new Garmin foot pods are even smaller yet and fit in the Nike+ opening in your shoe if you have Nike shoes, or they can go on the shoe laces. Garmin didn’t even make me send the broken foot pod back, they just sent a new and improved foot pod at no additional cost. So now I am an official Garmin fan boy.
