Still a bit high in price. Would fly better at around ~$525.

Never had this problem. Sounds like a personal problem.

If you're in the U.S., you can download the app Optimity and take a series of surveys or play some games to get gems to get a 20% off garmin watch. This apply to most watches with some caveats.

Will bring the forerunner 970 to $599

You can try buying a plastic port cover. I see them in Amazon or Aliexpress.

What exactly do you expect them to do about it? Return it if it irritates your skin

there are so many annoying missing features and bugs on Garmin watches now

there is absolutely no way I would ever recommend someone spend $650 on one

try a $200 Venu3 refurb before you go crazy like this

I am not sure what happened to Garmin but it all changed after 2020

it's like they got rid of all their best developers and said "frack it"

almost every seller of garmin usb cables throws in silicon charge port covers as a freebie

since I have to buy a new cable every year (the cable wears out but not the port fortunately) I've got a whole stack of those little covers

this is just an example, these were just $1 a cable and the covers were free

Eh, it absolutely can happen if you're regularly active (i.e. sweating) and don't wash the back of the watch where the charging port is every now and then (because.. bacterial growth).

I'm good about washing my 935 nowadays, but over the course of ~7 years and **checks app** 14,672 miles of running (it justifies my awful diet), it has most definitely happened to me a few times.
All I remember is some slight itching though, nothing really all that bad.

Where can you get a refurb venu 3 for $200?
