Ive noticed the start of some corrosion/discolouring on the 4 charging points on my GW60. Only got it at Xmas and probably used 15 to 20 times. Already had the cable replaced.
Anyone else having the same issue?? Maybe I got a lemon??
Do you wash it in fresh water after each session, as advised in the manual? I've had a few instances of it being rekuctant to connect, but a wipe of the cable and watch contacts has solved the problem.
Yeah Mike, every time. It still charges OK but was a bit concerned when I saw the discolouration.
I've had the same issue and realised on Sunday night trying unsuccessfully to connect that I should give it a fresh water clean. Voila, it worked fine then.

Looking at mine closely, the end point is slightly more yellowish than the other 3, but there's not much in it.
Locosys has concluded testing of the new Alpha Racing Firmware (V1.2A0314B) for the GW60 GPS watch. This new version of the firmware significantly upgrades the functionality and usability of the GW60. They have specifically released this firmware so that it is available for contestants at Burrum Windfest 2017. The following Dropbox has the firmware pack. The pack includes:
- New firmware file, use the existing GW60 updater to upload onto your watch
- Release note which details the history of changes to the firmware during testing
- Watch set-up config instructions for the new features
- Installer for the new Utility for Log file downloading and watch configuration. Note this only works with Window's PCs

I read you earlier post. The discolouration on your contacts is oxidation (rust) of the copper. Try Using an eraser to clean off
