Hi Julien my order is a mixed order
When can I expect that to be shipped
Thanks

I have got half my order; got the 4 Mini last week. The other half of the order, the 4 LCD units, will be shipped soon, I am sure.

Similar. I just heard that the first half of my current order of 8 mini's turned up at the PO today.

Any eta about the lcd motions ,Derryn's order has taken over 12 months now?

Yes, if you haven't received a tracking code yet, it hasn't shipped.

I have 13 parcels to Oceania at risk right now already. I'll add 4 more parcels Tuesday or Wednesday containing 15 Minis and 1 LCD.

Once these 13 parcels start hitting Australia, I'll send 2x 3 LCD, 3x 2 LCD and 2x4 LCD to end it all.

If I lose 4 Mini, it ain't the end of the world. If I lose 4 LCD, it's hell.

Hi Julien,

Tried emailing but haven't received a reply yet, has the LCD motion I ordered been shipped yet as I've received no tracking Information or been notified that its been dispatched

Tell you what, it's like I finally got a boost to the morale these past few days/weeks from seeing devices in use at different competitions. At some point, I started wondering if people were really using them because there were so little live action visible.

When I made backup devices for Bloodhound LSR, I wouldn't believe the engineers telling me they were working fine and they had nothing special to report. It's a little like that.

Luckily there's plenty of live images/videos right now.

Thanks for all the effort Julien. I received my screen Motion back in March 2019. I have used it for every speed session for 2 1/2 years. It' s worked perfectly every time. I also have a couple of minis which also work perfectly.

Thanks for your continuing updates on production, parts, supply status Julien, and it is fantastic to see photos of the worlds top speedsters using the LCD motion at iconic speed sailing events.
The guys requests in the posts above weren't knocking the product but asking for an update on the shipping of last years LCDs orders to Australia. Its great the minis are still coming and that the European backlog will be cleared in two months but could you update us on your note of 18th October on the Australian parcels of LCDs that were ready to be shipped?

thank you
Derryn

Let's see how the shipping timeframe goes with these current parcels, I have one parcel of minis on the way that left Belgium 23 October, hopefully with Australia now reopening it's international borders, there's more flights in next weeks/months carrying small freight parcels

Well I ordered in Jan 2020 and paid February 2020, my patience is running out, when people that paid after me are getting theirs. I guess there aren't as many orders in WA, but Daffy did say he'd take mine and post it over. Then Daffy's parcel had to be reduced for tax reasons. And I'm still waiting.

There are still pros in getting a GW60 as long as like all equipment you accept that it won't last forever
-available worldwide (soon as you pay it gets posted)
-accurate to an acceptable standard for all windsurfing applications
-very wearable
-easy to read on the water
-some are lasting up to 3 years
So I guess it costs the average windsurfer about $200 a year because they don't last forever, I get that and some windsurfers don't want to spend that amount of money, but a lot are happy to spend thousands each year getting the latest other kit among other things
To put into context sailors are buying Z fins and from what hear after a couple years of use they are prone to failure, I have personal experience with this happening
We need to wait 3 years and then make to call if Motion is better in the long game, lets see how the motion battery in it's sealed case is going then
Will this Motion business survive, it's anyone's guess based on the cryptic replies from the manufacturer

I am sorry for any distress from what I have written causes those who are putting blind faith in the motion lotto, if something seems too good to be true it most likely is

Another option is just get a garmin and post to a site that accepts it, but don't expect that watch to last for ever either, my wife has had 4 gps devices over the last 10years for running and none are currently still working, each of these cost more than the GW60

When I purchased my half price refurbished GW60, I was told that those in stock are the last available, it's end of line for the GW60, and there's no plans for a replacement.
So if you don't want to make one yourself, and you don't want to wait for a motion, and want to post to the GPSTC.
Better snap up the last of the GW60s and treat it very very well!

I'm not sure about my refurbished one yet. I had to set it up manually the was trouble doing it from the util. It said it had saved the settings, but not all of them had "taken" they were still on the default. Refurbished ones have no warranty, so I'll just keep my fingers crossed that between the ancient end of life unit and this new one, they last until the motion gets here.

Who? There's a huge gap in orders due to the black line era in which I barely took any order. So even January 2020 was the tail-end of the paid queue.

There's an interesting forest for the tree bias lately; casually excluding all devices that were on time and that work fine every day.

Just going by this post here Julien, Dezza says she paid for hers in October, I paid for mine in February

And I have no knowledge of all the success stories, I'm only concerned with my own experience.

But I appreciate, all the problems you've had and the great job you're doing, I'm just getting impatient.

I'm Mickey.

Mike I did the same when I thought Mickeys LCDs were coming before mine

My $300 Garmin watch was purchased in 2017 and has been on my wrist almost 24/7 since. It gets used for running and at least 2 swims a week as well as my less frequent windsurfing. I could walk into a shop today and get a replacement if it failed (as it is well beyond warranty). Still holding 7 days of battery life when not using GPS. Has a screen to give me feedback on my activity and uploads via bluetooth without even touching my phone just by stopping the activity. It even tells the time and my HR plus many other things. Only issue I have had is the little clip that holds the excess band broke (out of warranty). I emailed Garmin and they sent a replacement at no charge.
