Don't really know how much Garmin does repairs. I've sent a second hand watch to them before that conked out, and they essentially give you a discount on a new one (think i ended up paying 95 quid for a new 735xt). It all depends on if they still manufacture the watch or not (in which case it's a voucher kind of system i think)
So you were able to send something you bought second hand (eBay, here, wherever, but not a reconditioned with warranty) watch and they replaced with new or reconditioned? That sounds pretty good to me.
