The bike and run courses are marked off every few kilometers so you could know your pace from time, and I'm old so like to check heart rate; I don't want to push it too high. But now that the Charge 6 is sitting at the bottom of Lake Ontario, time to upgrade to something that's actually useful for open water swims, biking and running...with built in GPS - and a better wristband than the plastic snapper of the Charge 6.. The best features of the Charge 6 are price and small size but it's too limited and now without the Dashboard it's even less useful so there's no point in getting another. And yes, you did predict it would happen, and as Murphy's Law goes, whatever can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time. I think you also said (might have been someone else) that it seemed to be designed by people who don't use it, and that feels about right.
