    My watch has misted up after having it for 10 months, it started misting up about 3 months ago, but it went back to normal after a run. Fingers crossed the place I bought it from will exchange!

    First watch lasted 5 months with intermittent satellite pickup. Nike replaced it under warranty but my second watch misted up two weeks ago and the screen is now completely broken. Did a factory reset via the laptop which reset the pixelated screen but now the display is completely blank. Out of warranty and I can’t find anywhere in uk that does repairs
