Fenix 8 reboots every time I press down button or swipe up.

This is annoying! It just reboot everytime I press down button when on watch face. But when i am on a different page like selecting workouts, the down button works.

Software Version : 11.90

EDIT : I figured out what is causing this, every "Day" that I have a custom event planned on the calendar that's when the down button makes the watch reboot. For example on October 20 I had a race so I put that event on my garmin calendar days before, so come race day down button made the watch restart when I press it while on Watch Face. then today it happened again because I had put an event today (I input it on my calendar weeks before) for my long run, now when I wake up today suddenly down button makes the watch reboot again, so I deleted the Long Run event on my garmin calendar and the down button works. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!

Hello. I am sorry to hear you are having this issue. Please try installing the latest SW version 12.22. If this issue is still occurring, I would love to help investigate this further. For this, please…

happens to me randomly or when I check the Notification Centre or when I interact with a widget. It’s driving me nuts. I’ve recorded the times it does happen as proof. Garmin needs to resolve this asap.

I am experiencing an issue with my FX8 51mm smartwatch. When I press the down button to access the calendar, the watch restarts unexpectedly. I have already performed a factory reset, but the problem persists. It appears that this issue may have arisen after the most recent software update.

Yep, started happening when I updated to 11.90. Try deleting events you put on calendar. It worked for me. Hope Garmin fix this asap.

Yup, I have the exact same issue - Enduro 3 (software 11.90) restarts when I get to the Calendar when swiping down, as I have a race scheduled there. Very frustrating and not something you'd expect from a watch this class and this price :///
