My GW60 doesn't show the score anmymore (just 0 on the screen) but it records the sessions (as i find the day scoresd when i connect it to my pc. I think i have the latest firmware and settings are like they have to be.

Sounds like you've found a new way for the GW60 to fail.
I don't know of any way, to set it up so the display doesn't show something.
Does it work properly in clock mode?

Just thought of a vague possibility, if you've set it to only show alphas, and you haven't done a "legal" alpha it will always show 0
I'm not sure what happens if you put a X in all the display options, that's a remote possibility.

I had mine do something similar a few weeks back. Hadn't changed anything in the setup. Connected to the utility and hit "Reboot Device" button on top-right section of home page. Had to then redo a couple of things like 'Username' and all working again. Don't know if this helps.

Good thought Mikey, when all else falls turn off and reboot.
But on my utility there's no such option!
But the old GW52 utility has a "power Off button"

Do I have an old GW60 util? I have version V1.5A0310B

Thanks Mikey, I wasn't aware this handy improvement had been added.
I just installed V1.6A0825A and now I have "reboot device" in the top section of the window.

If you've saved a "CFG" file, you just need to "restore CFG"

Saving the CFG is a good idea in the unlikely event you buy another GW60.

If we are talking grammar - where do we start

Seriously, if you mean where do you go wrong then it was probably when you bought the GW60 in the first place

No, i meant just what it's written but your comment is interesting.
As "doesn't work" experience i needed to replace the cable for pc connection.
Now in the screen i set during the session (double scores, vmax of the day and vmax ever -no idea if it's 1a or whatever-) i always read 0, In the past it worked (in the watch screen)

So have you tried mikey's suggestion, rebooting it?????
I've found you need the latest utility to be able to do that.
It's that old computer trick, first thing to try when there's a problem, turn it off and on again. You can't turn it off from the watch, only put it to sleep.

no, not yet. If next time i'll get the same issue then i'll go for that. P.S. yesterday i noticed my settings are different than your (Decrepit). They are like gpsspeedsurfing suggests. It shouldn't be a problem as previously i got no problems....
Yes, i have the latest utility version and i can do the reboot.

Sorry I was mischief making. Try Mikey's reboot suggestion

Mm mine is doing the blank screen thingy. Maybe I should try this to give it one more lease of life.. ... mm I forgot.. First of all you need to be able to connect to the utility..
