Same problem here. Just started a new thread in affection before using the search function, sorry for that. I will send an email to my reseller asking for advices. Hard reset didn't solve my issue. I guess it is a hardware problem, but it would be interesting to see if all F5X are affected.

As i told before "Today i have seen a friend of mine Fenix 5X's and it hasn't screen flickering issue! Serial number are more newer than mine (xxx43... vs xxx23...) and screen is a little more bright. So, i think this is an hardware issue!"

Alright, my SN is xxx42. Maybe the issue were solved in 43 and above then.

Thank you! Did you get a replacement from your reseller or through Garmin directly?

Mine is an "01" and I don't have his problem. Hopefully it's just a bad hardware batch?

If it helps the "investigation".
My SN is xxxxxx47 - no screen flickering visible
