White circle on screen, just below 3 OClock??? What has caused this??

I have got an issue with a large dot appearing on my screen. It has slowly got bigger over time. Photo attached.

Also i note that the screen splits into half when been in idle mode.

Watch is worn every day, hasnt been subject to impact or overheating so must be a warranty issue??

I believe so. This was a frequent issue in the Forerunner 245 series several years ago. The only fix was to replace the watch. Both watches were released in 2019, a few months apart.

Any idea what the warranty protocols are?

Warranty conditions vary depending on where you bought the watch. Contact Garmin support. They'll tell you how to proceed.

swollen battery pushing the mainboard up and its pushing on the screen. Mosy likely.

I had exactly the same situation. On the Garmin hotline they said that they knew the problem and would send a new one.

It is a "Mura defect". See: www.researchgate.net/.../Example-of-line-mura-spot-mura-and-region-mura-defects_fig4_279564481
