What model do you have the X9 or X10?

Also it should not be neccessary to stand 12 minutes in the open to get a fix. Usually 2-4 minutes should do it if you have performed the first fix procedure!

I think that the log file in your watch have become either full or corrupted. Check the following:

-Charge the battery to full

- Empty the watch memory logs

Then perform the first fix by doing the following:

-Do not go to activity or navigation mode instead directly from Time keeping mode hold down enter for 2 seconds to get to the functions menu. From here manually set the GPS fix to 1 sec intervalls and then manually turn on the GPS from there(do not enter activity mode). Once it has been turned on then use the lower right button to navigate to the Position option and push enter. Now you will be in the Positions submenu. Now do not wear the watch instead put it on a table or something and lay it flat down, face facing upwards. Let it sit like that for 20 minutes. Now first fix should be complete and it should then be much easier and faster to get fixes in the same area in the future.

First fixes only needs to be done once every few weeks or when moving more then 200Km (130 miles).

Once you completed the first fix then turn off GPS and enter the Activity mode and turn on the activity to play and the watch should be getting a signal rather quickly and it should be 4-5 bars in a open field.

Then start with your activity and it should operate rather nicely!
