It's happening in the same way to my watch as you explained above. I strongly belive it's a bug that Garmin team has to fix this immediately with a new update.
I have already received my replacement watch. Garmin support was really fast.
After the update to version 17 everything seems to work normally. I'm still testing though.
Me too!! My watch is Instinct Solar forced shutting down when I get a notification
I think I have the same problem. My clock goes with version 17.00 when starting the activity simply off and also no longer on.
After a restart, I can start the activity at some point. When stopping the activity, the clock then goes off again.
Sometimes the clock goes off during an activity even without pressing a button.
I have also reset the clock without success.

In the meantime, I contacted my German support and described the problem.
With this error picture, the clock is now replaced. But I also rather believe that it is a software bug.
I wonder if this is why they seemingly paused the v17 rollout
I will report how the replaced clock behaves under version 17.00. However, the exchange may take three weeks.

I have almost the same issue - when im trying to use GPS related functions or Pulse Oximeter the watch just switches off and i have to switch on it manually.
Support advised me to do next thing to fix this bug:
1) connect watch to the computer as mass storage device
2) Delete such folders from GARMIN folder:
Activities; Courses; GPX; NewFiles; RemoteSW; Summary; Workots
3) Delete all .BAK and .TMP files
4) Sync with Garmin Express and update to the latest FW
Test the watch for 48 hours for further bugs
I got this weird notification (y'all got any trash?) last night though. There’s nothing about it on my phone. It’s kind of a hilarious mystery to me but a mystery nonetheless. Any ideas?
What notification exactly? There can be plenty of notifications or alerts not originating on the phone at all.
I have same issue. It started few days ago on walking activity, it turned out that watch shut down at every 1km point when alert sounded. Then I noticed it on running activity, also on lap alert. Then I noticed also PulseOX makes it shut. I don't know if it's related to battery, because it didn't shut when battery is over 53%. I've did @AstroNick suggestion and checking.
Edit: So when battery got below 53% I tried measure PulseOx and first try and watch shuts down, so no improvement...
