Fenix 5 - screen only half visible and flickering issue when using watch

Former Member over 4 years ago

Morning

I have had my Fenix 5 for nearly 2 years now and not had any issues but this morning I noticed that I can only view half of my screen and there is some kind of screen saver thing happening so it literally keeps moving so more and more of the screen is less visible. Not happy with this and can't seem to change it and, when I go to the menu working is overlapping and flickering too.

Any ideas?

Hi!

I have the same issue. My watch is 3 years old so I believe the life cycle is near the end. The battery drains drastically quicker since this thing occurs (less then 2 days battery life without any activity that requires gps). Not sure if garmin fenix will be the next choice for me

Flickering and half display may be the result of disconnected display connector. Just try to open the bezel and push the connector so it sits in its place.

Battery can be replaced too.
