Are you sure it’s not just a flat battery due to lack of use?

2 short commutes, 20mins pilates, 30min lunch run & a club run session…so mostly just fluff to piss off my Strava followers.

A fair shout. But it’s had heavy use as a watch and a step counter!
Can’t seem to be able to reset the bloody thing out it the triangle though

Have you checked the suggestions from DCR?
I’ve read a couple of things online. But haven’t had the time to properly mess about with it yet.

No rush, there’ll be a month or so before you need it.

I started watching the DCR video and then thought I’d check to see if my watch was affected before watching the entire video! Bang. Boot loop. Had to do a factory reset, thankfully most of the settings are retained from a back up!

Dont want to tempt fate but no issues. 745 forerunner. Maybe it is good to have older tech. ???
I went to settings on my watch found automatic updates and turned it off. 
Been says it’s effecting Edge as well 
Good to see Garmin learnt lessons from Crowdstrike about pushing out content files OTA without proper testing.

I’m curious, do you wear your Garmin 24/7 and why?
I go through spells of wearing a normal watch and then going back to the Garmin 24/7. The stats are interesting but I don’t do anything with them.
I also like wearing a ‘proper’ watch occasionally.
I’ve been generally wearing mine 24/7 for quite a few years, I look at the stats but take a lot with a pinch of salt.
But the step count encourages me to get off my arse!

Yeah wear mine 24/7. Take it off to shower to stop the strap stinking.
I look at the stats out of interest but dont do much with them. Im too stuck onba routine to change based on what the watch tells me. If it says I should rest but I have a swim planned Im going

Mostly 24/7 i like the sleep tracking. Remove it in the shower and wash the back.
I wear a proper watch if I am out somewhere fancy however.

I only wear my Garmin when doing sports.
A battered Casio to take the abuse at work.
A ‘proper’ watch when the occasion calls for it.
Wearing a watch in bed is just odd.

I wear mine 24/7 except for the shower. I’d imagine most of us are up earlier than our other halves & it’s nice that alarm is discrete. The torch is supprisingly usefull too.

Health tracking, and because it’s one less thing to remember to put on. I wear a trisuit all day instead of pants sometimes.
Did I say that out loud?
