What's the best long lasting GPS watch?

I got my FR220 almost 4 years ago, works like a charm. a friend of mine got the FR10 at the same time, it is still running as well.

I'd go to

and

for reviews and comparison. I advise you to take an entry level FR watch, with fewer functionalities, they seem more long-lasting to me. Cheers !

My Garmin FR15 has been going for 4 years.

I've had Garmin GPS watches since the FR105 (was that the name of that thing?). 105, a few 205/305s, a 220 and now a 230. In all those years never once did one just 'die'. Either I lost it or I ran it over with my car or whatever. I still have a completely functioning 205 that I've owned for at least 7 years now. Wife uses it. My 220 was the closest to just dieing on it's own. The battery became very, very weak (it still worked but only lasted about 2 hours) after about 2 years so I had it replaced. Unfortunately, when the battery was replaced the water resistance was compromised and it quickly developed water-related problems. I liked the 220 as I could wear it as my daily watch, replaced with a 230 (no optical HRM for me) and use it as a daily. One difference in how I wear it is that the 230 does NOT go in the shower with me like I did with the 220. No matter what Garmin says it's best to minimize water exposure.
