G25 in salt water

[fearocks]

Better wake out of the box vs 25 even though I tweaked mine with 750 lbs of steel shot bags . Even if yuh don’t go in salt water I think the $5000 upgrade for a Coastal model is worth it fir the options and heavy duty featured offered

Thanks again, 23 it is with the 450. Also, I was getting ready to sell my Garmin Fenix watch, or give it away and get an Apple, but I guess I'll go ahead and keep it and let you guys know how it works with the surf system

Nope wishful thinking , rumor mill and expectation. No 2019 nor 2020 model surf select optioned boats will function with the Garmin Fenix watch . If you have either of these model years , the surf select system will only work with the Pebble watch . Sell you Garmin Fenix and buy a cheap $50.00 Pebble watch on EBay . Just Saying

Does the Coastal still get only 3 years of warranty, or did that change recently? I seem to recall there might have been a change.

Don’t know for 2019-2020 years but my 2017 Coastal G has the same warranty as the non Coastal 2017 . 500 hours or 5 years . No time or years were chopped off because it was a Coastal model . Not true for 2016 and older models

Neither the Garmin nor the Apple will work with the surf system.

That sucks! I was looking forward to getting some extra use out of this watch. Thanks for the heads up... the Pebbles are cheaper on Ebay, than Amazon. I'm going with a 2020 model, since we're already this far into the season. Hmmm, maybe need to shoot them an email to see if they'd be open to letting me write something and posting it up on the app store to work with Apple and Android watches

I just spoke to the dealer and the warranty is 5 years for both standard and coastal editions

That sucks! It would be cool to be able to tie your sports into your health app and control the surf all on one device

Spoke to the dealer.... seems like that's holding the same for 2020, as well

On the Coastal you may ask your dealer if the warranty is a 1000 hours like the non -Coastal . After 2017 model year; they raised the hours from 500 to 1000 hours on the warranty . I’m assuming both standard and Coastal but not entirely sure

2020 Surf Select still only works with Pebble . No Apple , Garmin or Android watches

That's kinda wyld that they haven't, it wouldn't take a lot of coding to write something for a watch. Maybe I just need to write something and sell it back to them lol.

He said he thinks 5 years 555 hours on PCM, but would check with one of his sales guys and let me know for sure

Yes unreal how long it is taking to have a comparable watch other than Pebble which is out of business
