Will this watch work outside the US? If so, does it work anywhere/everywhere? (I live in the Cayman Islands and also spend time in England.)

I am using it in Korea now. As long as you can get a GPS signal, you can use it!

GPS-based devices work everywhere in the planet as long as you have a clear view of the sky.

It works in Canada but u can also buy the Nike pods if you are concerned you are out of satellite range.

I sold a lot of these watches to customers in Arizona and never had this problem. Try this if you set the watch to Central time you should pick up the extra hour.

I don't know if it will work for Arizona, but I do know that I would not recommend this watch. I purchased one for my blind mother for Christmas. It worked for about a month, then it quite "talking". We took it to a watch maker and he couldn't repair it. I sent it back to the company and they replaced it with a new one. It also worked for a month and then quit "talking". My mother relies on her watch to know the time of day. She can't even tell if it is day or night without it. We did find one for about $10.00 at Walmart. It isn't pretty, but it is still working.

Can it work in UK ? Can they buy battery there? I'm thinking to take it as a gift. Please help

Ordered the watch for grandson who lives in CA...we live in OR. I've never seen the watch but he enjoys it. I know how important "swingy" things are to boys. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Gary

Monica, if your watch is analogic ( it should say, or google it) It won't work. you will need an analogic one, if your watch is digital, it will work.

I did a little research, and came to the conclusion that it most likely will, on the basis that the watch connects with satellite to determine your distance. So, it wouldn't matter where you're at on the globe as long as it is able to make that connection. But with all GPS devices, it's reliability is determined by it's ability to get a good signal which can be hampered by cloudy days, or trying to get a GPS lock from indoors. As long as you are outdoors and it's relatively clear, it should work anywhere.

Please, check Garmin home page. There´s a lot of way to choose how to see the screen. I use my watch and check just distance, time and current pace in same screen. Otherwise, if you are not a professional, see the 220 for 100 dollars less.....

Never used the watch because I don't have a clue how it works.....I bought a Garmin

It should work outside the US since it is a quad band, quad band pretty much covers the 5 or 7 seven continents (depending who you ask), which basically covers the whole world where there are signals of course.

I've had the watch for a few months now and love it. I haven't played around with the German detection feature yet but i expect it to be accurate. Fingers crossed for an updated version with an overall communist sensor as I reside in the People's Republic of New Jersey.

We are in the USA and it works perfect here. Hope that helps you.to some degree. We don't travel to other regions. Sorry.

No, it can't be used in the UK. It only has the 850/1900 bands as you point out, so it works in the USA and most of Latin America.

Not really. It is Designed for US only. It is just miles and feets, also doesn't have Europe time zones

It does take some time for the watch to sync up on satellites, but mine always does. I generally turn it on when I leave for the golf course. If yours doesn't at all then I think there maybe a problem with the watch.

Do you use RunKeeper currently? If so, expect to have to do a manual export/import to get it to take. Also, MySports desktop app still locks up for me everytime I sync (have to close and reopen/resync). I didn't care much for the MySports website, but I already use RunKeeper anyway. It's completely comfortable, and sized just like a normal digital watch. I REALLY want to like this watch, and I still kinda do. If you're not in a hurry, I'd recommend holding off until/if they fix it... as it seems to be one of the best out there for the price--once it's all working. I'm holding out hope for it, but will be watching my return window closely.

I apologize if this is an ***obvious*** point, but I have found that there is dramatically better performance in finding satellites if you turn on your watch and leave it on the ground/on a rock/on a post that is in relatively clear view of the sky while you stretch or get ready to run/ride. Rather than turn on the watch and put it on, I suggest to all users to try this simple trick. You will have a much better experience using the watch (mine is a 305).
