Brand New Fenix 8 AMOLED Speaker Not working

JDBosch 2 days ago

I’ve just purchased a new Fenix 8 AMOLED 51mm - speaker was working, had a single shower with it and the speaker has stopped working completely.

It’s been longer than 24 hours, I’ve followed all steps mentioned on the forum. This is super frustrating!

What about water ejection mode, and button tones?

Tried everything - no tones , no voice note, no calls, no Spotify - can’t hear a thing in the faintest

Nope - no tones , nothing at all - I’ve tried various online suggestions.

seems I’m without any options apart from sending the watch back seemingly at my own cost.

Since you just purchased it, why not just return it for another one? It's most likely defective from the manufacture.

If you just start and stop a swim activity and save or discard it, the water ejection functionality should start automatically with sound and vibration. But I assume you have already checked this!? If there is no sound even by using the water ejection, I would assume the speaker is broken (if you have checked that the volume is not set to „mute all“ in the general settings) for some reasons and contact the Garmin support or the dealer where you bought it.

Perhaps a master reset could help (you lost all settings/data) to bring back the speaker back to life…
