Left side down button loosing clickiness and harder to press

Anyone experiencing issues with their Fenix 5plus (Mine is Titanium model) buttons loosing the clicky feel? I noticed that on the left side down button. This is the button I feel also gets the most use. If I shake the watch really hard or tab the watch on the side of that button on a soft surface, the clickiness comes back but if I click on it a few more times it goes back to that dead feel when clicking on the button. However, it still seems to work ok.
  • My Back/Lap button has been this way since right after I bought it in July. Was a bit worried in the beginning that it would stop working after a while, but it kind of «settled» and I have never experienced any problems with it apart from the missing «clicky feel», so I haven’t actually tought about it for months. (Mine is the titanium version as well)

    Thanks. I'm surprise the buttons go back so quickly. I did reach out to Garmin and they will be sending me a replacement watch.
  • I'm happy to hear that.

    I live in a country where we have very good consumer rights, so in my case I don't rush to get a replacement until the button really starts degrading or eventually stops working (if that will ever be the case).
    So far, it doesn't affect usability at all, if anything it's just a minor irritation.
  • I've sent mine in for service for the same problem. For me it was the start button (top right). Missing my black 5+ deerly
  • Received a brand new one yesterday. All buttons working and clicking as they should. Hope it holds up this time.
  • When i sold my f5 Sapphire 2 weeks ago all buttons were much harder to press. Watch waa almost 2 years old...
