Newton still going strong!

Post by texmurphy »

It has been 1 year since a prior post on this sub-forum.

I wanted to say that my Newton is still working great after 9+ years and over 1100 activities. :D

No problems with battery life and very consistent performance.
Only every several months does an activity fail to upload to Isaac. The power is still recorded ok on the Garmin so I only miss the Isaac analysis on a fail. I never automatically erase after upload anymore to limit any Isaac/Newton data failure.

Hmm...I have a Newton on my bike that was manufactured 10 years ago. No problems.
Agree no problems with Newton!
But where have all the Newtons gone? Did Velocomp vacuum them all up on Powerpod update offers?
My constant search of eBay never finds any.

You may be able to find some here: skopre.it

This was our European distributor. If he has Newtons tell Stefano hello for us!

Stefano sends his regards.
I have decided the Euro price and ship is too high for my purposes.
However he does seem to have some inventory.

Offer Stefano the price you are willing to pay. I bet he will take it...
