My Fenix 8 AMOLED 47mm consistently crashes when the water temperature drops below 8°C.
This is a significant issue where I live, as the water temperature often falls below that.
Interestingly, after a crash due to the temperature drop, the watch can usually reboot and function properly, even if the displayed temperature is below 8°C.
In Europe, dive instruments must be tested down to 0°C to be on the market, so I find it surprising for a watch advertised to operate in negative temperatures to have this problem.
I've noticed other users reporting the same issue on Reddit.
I'm wondering if this is a software safety feature that might be resolved in an update, or if I should consider sending the watch back.
It seems the watch can operate in low temperatures, but the sudden temperature drop when entering the water causes it to crash consistently.
Testing my Enduro 3 - down to 1.4C and no issue so its a bug with the Inductive buttons perhaps as someone suggested?
