Approach S70 Blue Triangle

My 13 Month old S70 is displaying the Blue Triangle of Death.  It is fully charged and will not turn on. My retailer advice is the watch is now out of warranty and they cannot replace it. Said return it and they could send it to Garmin but no guarantee that anything can be done. Ive invested over $1,000 in this watch.  Anybody else had similar experience?

  • I’m here two years later and my 18 month old s70 just went down this path. Are they serious that they expect us to spend 500$ and in less than two years it is dead! What is this crap from a company that wants to be a leader. I will go on every YouTube channel promoting this and tell them the watch is crap.

  • I don't understand why the watch isn't covered by the warranty. In my country, we have statutory warranty rights, meaning you are still covered even after the standard warranty period has expired. You hold the seller liable for the non-functioning watch—not Garmin, unless you bought the S70 directly from them. It is the seller's responsibility to resolve the issue. The statutory warranty does not apply if the problem is caused by misuse, but the seller must prove that you used the watch incorrectly.

  • My watch showed the blue triangle after a software update which resulted in S70 watches world wide glitching .  I eventually got my dealer to work  with the local distributor to solve . I said I would not collect it until it was fixed -  a week later I had a working witch which has been fine ever since
