This is good to hear. I have and irrational fear that one day my 500 will have to endure the same accidental journey.

They are only rated to IPX7 - accidental immersion in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. So it did well to survive a full cycle.

The only evidence (apart from the gleaming) was a bit of moisture condensing on the inside of screen.
Have split the unit and given it a mild bake to dry it out. Will complete the 'refurb' by shouting it a new screen saver. Garmin tough; "Ready to play another day "

Mine gets condensation inside the screen, but I do have a nasty habit of either throwing it either in a sweaty back pocket or in the back pack next to a water bladder.

Tomtom Multisports also is rated for a hot wash, went through caught up in the bed sheets.

Using it in bed is stretching the definition of "multisports" a little, I approve.

Where do you put the power meter?

Is there anything else out there that's good? Mainly want the triple threat of distance, heart rate and speed.

So why can't I find Faceplant in Strava yet?!

The strain gauge is the little button that pops out the back.
