Fenix 8 with FW 13.37 Reboots during golf round

So far had two reboots on two different rounds.

First time, on hole number 10. Rebooted and it asked me if I wanted to resume previous round which was nice because I didn't lose my score or stats. Was using a Approach Z30 range finder during the round.

Second time, on hole 7. Rebooted but it didn't ask me to resume previous round. Basically lost all my club stats and score for the first 6 holes. Was using an Approach Z82 range finder during the round.

I also have a Fenix 7 and an S70 watch. Those watches never rebooted while I'm golfing. I probably have a hundred rounds of golf in between the Fenix 7 and S70.

I think I played 5 rounds of golf with my Fenix 8. Two of them resulted in a reboot during the round.

I had that problem a few weeks ago, also the distance shot tracking doesn't work unless you reboot the watch after starting the round.

Didn't get a chance to test this in the golf course yet, but I went for a run 2 days ago and the watch rebooted. After that I deleted the Activity folder just in case there are corrupted files. I will have a golf round on Friday, Ill reach to you Cody after that. Thx

Played 4 rounds with FW 15.31 and did not experience a reboot mid round but now I have a problem where shot tracking doesn't work unless I reboot the watch.

I am having the same issue. My watch used to hang and then reboot when golfing. That has not happened since installing 15.31 but now shot tracking works sometimes but never for the entire round of golf.
