I cannot start a new round of golf as the watch ends its immediately on its own

JBakkers

Till today the S70 was acting great. But now, if I start a round, all preparation steps go as normal.

I press Golf on the watch, wait for GPS, watch searches for nearby courses, select a course, check to register score, select a tee, the first hole is shown but after 1 second the watch ends the round on its own. It looks as if the menu button is pressed, that icon is shown for a short moment nearby the red button, but I am not pressing any button.

The "round" is visible in the Garmin Golf App as an empty round. I can do this over and over again, with the same result. So I have a long list of empty rounds (easy to delete of course) in the Garmin app.

I have shut down the watch and started again, doesn't help.

I choose to skip GPS, doesn't help.

I choose not to keep scores, doesn't help.

Reset the watch, even that doesn't help.

Can anyone please help?

    It definitely is a big show stopper. Such an expensive golf watch and you can't even play golf with it makes the watch worthless for sure.

    Also on request of Garmin I have searched for updates via Garmin Express, done a total reset, back to factory settings. I removed it from the bluetooth list, removed it from Garmin Express, Garmin Connect and the Garmin Golf App, reconnect it after total reset, etc etc. But nothing works or only seemed to work one time.

    I also tried the steps you suggested Gerd, but no result.

    Garmin asked me to upload the complete Garmin map. The IT team is now looking to it and trying to solve it. I do wonder if they find anything.

    So roc999, get in touch with your local Garmin office and report the issue there too. The more people do that, the better the chance they will find a solution.
