  • Take a look in the Instinct forums for more relevant assistance.

    When you say 

    soft reboot

    do you mean pressed and held top left until shut down? That's a hard reset.

    Next option is to try resetting to new. You will lose all data and user information

    • Press top left.
    • As soon as you see the logo press and hold top and bottom right.
    • Release top right on first tone, release bottom right on second tone. 

    Be patient. It was a few minutes before the watch restarted.

    If that doesn't work contact Garmin Support.
