it’s unfortunate that the Fenix 8 seems to be plagued with rebooting problems. Not just in golf, but it seems other users have rebooting problems when interacting with notifications, starting or stopping activities, and other situations.

Hello, Im having the same problem. Happened twice whilst playing today, and although I can resume when it reboots and it remembers the score, it loses all my club data (from the club sensors). I need this fixed please.

Not a problem anymore assuming you are on latest firmware.

I am on the latest firmware, and it happened yesterday.

I'm having the same issue, it rebooted 6x during a round of golf, the watch only saved 1 hole worth of data. Very annoyed.

Yes, I updated on Friday and the problem got worse. It use to reboot once a round and only occasionally, but after the update it rebooted 6x in one round.
