I haven't actually used the 705 on a long enough ride yet for the unit battery to become an issue - is that what you mean?
Oakleaf, thanks for the info. Polar service is rather ridiculous--you have to pay a min. of $25 just to change out a $2.00 battery and pay shipping both ways. As for the random shutdowns on the Garmin, that's what I was wondering and I guess it's been resolved. And I was wondering what the battery life was on a long ride. When you find out, let us know.
