Fenix 6x Pro System software 25.10 -> blue triangle, hard reset doesn't work. watch is dead

Attempted hard reset after turning off the watch but it won't come out of it. never had issues with software updates before but now it won't come out of it.
Only a year and 4 months after daily use... suggestions?

I have the same Problem with my Fenix 6x saphirre . After the update 25.10 is the watch dead... Garmin say: No Problem in the update!!!

I can buy a refurbished fenix for 190 € .....

Try this: connect watch to a computer via USB, then in file explorer browse the watch folders, until you find the “activities” one. Sort the .fit files by date and delete the newest one (backup if you think you need it, but move out of folder. Disconnect from computer. Try rebooting watch now. It worked for me on a previous version.

See How to Reset My Garmin Outdoor Watch

In particular see section Unprompted Reset.

If that doesn't revive the watch then you'll need to contact Garmin for a replacement.

Hey there, I have the same issue, it’s been a while since I had the update, but since then I didn’t think it was a big deal. Now I cannot connect to the computer or wi-fi! And my watch is constantly turning off by itself. Did you receive any answer from Garmin?

Yes- they said it needs replacement:(
