Stuck on Garmin Logo Screen

My V3 is stuck on the Garmin logo screen. I've noticed a couple times that my watch would kind of restart and flash the logo, I figured that's just what it does when it's updating. However this time it seems stuck on that logo screen and it vibrates ever 3 seconds or so. I held down the button for 15 seconds to turn it off, I left it off for awhile but when I turned it back on its still doing it. My battery was at about 35% early today, but I figure if it died it wouldnt be showing anything on the screen or flashing the way that it is. Unfortunately I can't charge it until later when I'm home, but I'm not even sure that's going to solve this, it seems like faulty software. I have a warranty so if all else fails I guess I'll have to return it. Has anything experienced this or have any suggestions?

Thank you for sharing. It worked for me too.

I have a Vivo Active 3 and after a period of no charge (say 2 weeks) it became 'frozen' on the green triangle when I tried to charge it to use. After reading the comments here I pressed the button for approx 15 seconds (how I was meant to know that I've no idea - so thanks !) and then plugged it into my computer. Bingo - after a few seconds and a few bleeps it appears to be working fine.

Thank you for this. I literally thought my watch was broken and was really upset. Using your method I rebooted it.

Has it happened again? Or did that fix it?

Hello all,

The Garmin Fenix 5s is stuck on the blue triangle and I tried everything including power button hold down for 10 Sec+. Didn't impact. Anything else I cqna do. It was also plugged in for charge as well. So charge isn't the issue either. I sincerely appreciate your help.
