Down Button is hard to press

Nigel 9 months ago

My Garmin fenix 8 43mm had the problem where the down and up button didn't respond as well as the other buttons. After some research I read about "Key Calibration". This fixed my problem for a week. However, now the Down Button is difficult to press, as if there is something preventing it from smoothly pressing. It does respond though.

I have tried the Key Calibration again, but without luck.

Please help me with this problem.

EDIT: when calibrating, the button presses as normal. So it apparently has something to do with the feedback I get from pressing it when operating it. However, silencing the vibration does not help.

I have the 51mm and I noticed that too.

I didn't know about the calibration option. Will google it and try

Bonjour

Les boutons tournent ils sur eux même sur la votre ?

On my watch the "DOWN" button, (left down) needs to be pressed harder than the other button in order to respond.

Oui pareil pour moi mais celui bas droite.

Et avec ton doigt, essaie de tourner le bouton sur lui même.

Tous les boutons tournent sur eux même. Chez toi aussi ?

C'est quand même pas super...

Same for me. Sometimes I must click BACK and DOWN (especially this one) buttons several times to make them work. Calibration process did not help.

same here - i thought its because of the micro cover that the finger has less room as with the other buttons - by now i know to press a bit harder on the back button - and i mostly use the middle finger nuckle rather than the finger tip

dont want to do the calibration, yet

What process did you follow to calibrate?
