My Fenix 5x updated to 13.0 overnight and I did an indoor ride on my Wattbike Atom this morning. Whenever the watch auto paused it crashed and restarted. Anyone else had this?
  • Someone has reported similar with the 935. Try a hard reset and see if that changes anything.
  • I'll keep my FW 12.00 ... It seems that each iteration of FW is worse and worse ...
  • Same problem, don't bother with a hard reset, same problem, time to re-flash back to 12.xx

    The 13 is BAD :(
  • Hey Jonah2948 try this as it seems to work for me , just tried a quick ride though, nothing long

    You can, probably skip the first part

    1 ) I re-installed Version 12 with a clean setup, ran it for two days

    2 ) then I downloaded the version 13.21 beta, this will restart the watch with a 'cleanish' (bit not clean setup) (don' botherer pairing phone or anything)

    So once booted into 13.21 then do a Clean setup using the following
    • Hold the power/Light key until the menu appears.
    • Choose power off.
    • Press and Hold lap/Back button.
    • Press the power/Light key
    • You will get the menu “Clean user data: Yes/No?” release LAP button.
    • Then choose yes to factory reset the Garmin watch
    • Garmin watch is hard reset and ready to pair to Garmin Connect again.
    This will really clear the watch, so starting like new
