I've opened a report for this 10 days ago. Just got a response from Garmin with the following:

I had a reboot to blue triangle yesterday after saving an activity. Was using native music via mp3 files copied to filesystem at the time.

First time I saw a reboot since being an F6 user for 15 months.

I may have found the issue. I use playlist that I sync to my watch using a windows program called music bee. What I did was completely wipe the playlist from my watch and reload/ sync them back. Today was the first day that my watch didn’t crash while using music and using a workout app. It’s possible that the music files where corrupt? Maybe the playlist files? Will keep you posted.

Garmin suggested my wife to perform a Master Reset. This is really hard since it only crashes since the v21 update. So there must be something odd with it.

0 5135968 over 3 years ago in reply to Fieser-Kardinal

Since my reboot 2 days ago I used music over two activities for around 90 minutes today with no crashes.

IMHO Garmin should not be asking for end users to do master resets to work around their bugs

1) Its disruptive for the end user

2) Master reset clears any debug logs on the watch so they lose the chance of any analysis to find the root cause.

So the wiping of the playlist did not fix. Had to crashes today during my workout. I really don’t want to FR my watch…

By reset do you mean delete data and reset settings inside the watch? Will this also delete all the 3rd party apps and widgets?

0 5135968 over 3 years ago in reply to 8116264

Yes everything is deleted with a Master Reset.

You have to set everything back up again.

I would prefer Garmin fix the bugs, end users should not be inconvienced with resets.

Yes I agree with that 100%. Would take me an entire day to get it back to where I have the watch set up.
