Hello everyone, I got a problem. Yesterday, during my 3 hours trail run activity, my Fenix 5X plus spontaneously crash and restart on her own. Did anyone have the same problem ? I have the last version installed. Thank you for your answers.
  • I count several restarts,but not during activity but when i try to choose the type of activity.Unfortunately the watch is very expensive and it is full of bugs.I had 935 for almost 2 years with no problem at all ,but with fenix ia have problems from the day one.
  • stratusgr Did those problems start with FW6.0? I had the same problems (starting with 6.0; not before) but since I moved to 6.51beta it didn't happen anymore.

    ok thanks for your answer stratusgr, you are right it's a shame to buy a watch so expensive with so many bugs. I hope Garmin will fix that very soon.
  • stratusgr Did those problems start with FW6.0? I had the same problems (starting with 6.0; not before) but since I moved to 6.51beta it didn't happen anymore.

    I can not say because i have the watch only 2 weeks and when i connect the watch with pc fw installed immediately.

    My Fenix 5X Plus restarts itself during an activity too. I have also seen it restarting just before starting an activity like stratusgr says. So I have seen both kind of restarts.
  • I had several restarts a few months ago. I haven't experienced them recently (I have used beta 6.51 since it came out, but I can't recall if I have seen any restarts with that version).

    My restarts usually happened in one of three situations:

    1. When setting things up before the start of a session.
    2. When entering into sensor settings during a session.
    3. When entering into activity settings during a session.

    Yup, mine crashes as well. Also previous versions on the Fenix line. As well as Edge devices. One would assume software developers can one day write bug-free software, but alas, no such thing.

    Today my F5s+ reboots by itself when I was swimming. FW 7.10
    I was on the 36 pool but it records only 24 with the time 5h and more!!!!
    The rest of data seams ok.
