For the last two days now both the compass and last four hour hart rate monitor has froze and compass won’t calibrate

  • My compass won't calibrate,
    and it freezes on the screen,
    making my map screen display the map all over the place,
    the gps is correct but Ive no idea what direction I'm walking in,the map sometimes shows me walking backwards.
    This is my second watch in a month with this exact problem.
    All the other bugs are interesting to,especially the much slower processor speed in the IQ store for 7.0
    I would never trust this watch to give me a heading!!!!! I'd be classed insane lol.

    Counts steps really well though,and tells the time.

    Well I have reset my 5x back to factory settings again the second time since I have got it the last time vo2 max had froze and resetting it to factory settings fixed that but I lost all my previous running activities. This time I have reset it to factory settings because of the hart rate and compass freezing and again it seems to have fixed the problem

    And again I have lost all my running activity I don’t know if there is a way to get it back from Garmin Connect to my watch ??? I am also having a problem with performance stats only showing unproductive I don’t know if resetting it has fixed that yet.
