Former Member over 6 years ago

Hello, i just used FR235 for about 2 months.
Previously i didnt get any problems. But last week the watch got stuck while I was running. Then I did a hard reset & also master reset (reset to default).
The watch become often error.
2 days ago, the watch also stuck again while running.
i only switch it off & turn it back.
today the watch stuck again while in normal position (not doing activity).
Can anyone told me what I should do?
Whats wrong with the watch?

Thanks for the reply.
But i've removed the 2 watch faces.
This morning I just ran again. N the watch still stuck on minutes 19th.
something goes wrong with the watch.
I can turn off (restart) the watch.

But I can't 'cleaning user data => from off position, by holding the lap button & power button.

Any other way to fix the problem?
Is there a way to format the watch & install the firmware again?
??????
Thank you

I just tried to format the memory disk from computer.
But the computer was unable to complete the format.
The watch still can operate, i can still turn on => and it seems normal.
But it seems the problem is the memory is error.
I also have sent email to Garmin, but still no reply from them.
Having known this before I prefer choose Suunto.

Could anyone help with the problem?
Now the watch always stuck everyday, eventhough not in tracking activity.
using default watch face (digital), the clock still work (operate) => the seconds still ticking but the button (all buttons) didnt respond when I pressed.
So all i can do just turn it off & restart it again.
?????
I live in Indonesia, but I bought the watch in Singapore so I cant get the warranty in here.
thanks before
