Hey there people,
I've got a beautiful Garmin Fenix 6x Pro Solar. But lately it started acting weird.
It al started with getting these random storm alerts. So I went into the settings for the barometer and turned of the Storm alert notification. After turning it of they still came back and when I checked the setting it was turned of? Look liked it didn't want to turn of the setting?
So after dealing with this issue for a few days it noticed my watch didn't want to connect with my phone anymore? So I was done with it. Decided to give it a proper reset. All data and settings gone and just start again. The first thing I found kinda weird was that when the watch rebooted after the reset I was greeted by my custom configured Watch face?
So I Googled for the proper way to give it a hard reset (by turning it of and using the buttons).
After this reset the watch booted normally and asked the default questions. But now it fails to connect with my phone in any way possible? During the default setup after a reset when I press the option pair phone it says initializing and after a while it says failed. So skipping this step and pair a phone later through the settings menu my phone sees it in the Connect app but I don't get the pairing the watch code? But it directly starts setting it up, but fails after a minute or 2.
Still after these resets the watch gives storm alerts?
So I googled a bit and found you could reinstall the firmware with the Garmin WebUpdater. So I tried this. First I got an update, 20.50. Installed it, the watch reloaded/rebooted. Connected it again but I still get the same update in WebUpdater. But I should get the message I'm on the latest version and if I wanted to reinstall the firmware.
Things I already tried were:
- Turning my phone off and on again
- Turning my watch off and on again
- Removing the watch from my Bluetooth connection in my phone
- Contacted support, they want trade in my watch but it walls outside of the warranty period. So it will cost me 200 euros.
Side note:
I'm not a dummy with computers etc. so I'm open for difficult solutions.
Already thanks for your help and hopefully it will start working like it should!
