Sorry to hear MARQ also suffers from Garmin QC level.

FR945 and 245(M) platform also suffers from this feature

I'm also experiencing this with my Athlete edition. I also purchased from Jura actually though not sure that's relevant. What was the outcome for you on this? Did Garmin provide an explanation / replacement?

Perhaps try cleaning it before you opt for a replacement. My 5 Plus' start/stop button developed a notchy feel after ingesting some debris and it was rectified simply by soaking it in warm soapy water for a while in order to soften the debris and then hitting the button a few times to clear it.

If you run trails, you'll probably need to do this once a month (thats about my cycle anyway). That'd be a lot of frustrating replacements if you weren't able to self-service

It was a bit of a wait but I got a new watch replacement.I had to send mine to Jura for them to send to Garmin to look at it first, who confirmed the fault and that Garmin would send a new watch to Jura for them to then send new watch to me. I’ve not had the problem with my new watch

Really appreciate you taking the time to respond with that advice Joel. I'll try that before I contact Garmin. Thanks again for your help

Thanks for confirming. Interesting, I'll try to clean first though it does sound like mine is doing exactly what your first one did!
