My watch won't turn on anymore. Is there a reset button?

Last night I turned off my S60 with about 30% power left and this morning it won't turn back on anymore. Even when I have it plugged in it still won't turn on. Is there some sort of reset procedure I can do? I've only had this watch 1 1/2 years.

Thanks

Thank you...its working now. First time this has happened to me and hopefully it was just a one-off. If it happens again I'll know what to do.

Thanks! I returned my last S60 for this exact reason and it just happened to my replacement after 6 months. This fix helped. Not very good that this is happening with expensive Garmin watches nonetheless!

Mine is doing the same thing..but I tried the steps and it's still not working. I paid $400 for it and only used it 8 rounds of golf..can I send it in for repair?

If your watch is not powering on, connect the watch to a home computer through USB port. Press and hold the middle MENU button on the side of the watch for 20 seconds > Then release button, disconnect, and reconnect the charging cable > You should then see the Triangle appear on the screen leading to the watch charging and operating normally.
