Inverse Colors

Started noticing in the last couple of days (after the 13.10 update) that colors were inverted in several areas. Holding down the up/menu key to enter settings brings up a battery gauge at the top that's purple instead of green, the Spotify logo is also purple, and all of the Spotify library screens are all inverted, favorites under activities are black with inverse color icons instead of white with the expected colors. Other areas seem unaffected though (namely the watch face). Anyone else seeing this issue?

That doesn't sound normal to me. I'd suggest contacting Garmin support in your country/region for further advice, as it could be a hardware issue. A bit of self help first would be to do a master reset (details here https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/fenix6-6ssport/EN-US/GUID-46551446-AAE7-451C-B857-7D86AD7747EE.html). I'd recommend the 'delete data and reset settings' option, to be sure you've eliminated any possible software causes for what you are seeing. I know it's a pain to set the watch up again after doing it, but it's normally one of the first things Garmin support will ask you to do anyway.

That's what I was afraid of. Just did an indoor bike ride and the screens were inverted there too. The pause menu gets so faint it's almost unreadable. Boo to new setup.

I've got the same symptoms, was your solution to get a new unit or did you fix it?

New unit. My recommendation would be to take a video that shows the inverse colors and make it clear that it's happening OUTSIDE of activities (we spent a lot of useless time trying to figure out if climbing mode was turning on and inverting the colors, which it can't do when you're in watch mode or a widget). You can then ask for an email address so you can send them a link to the video and hopefully save yourself some time on the phone.
