Vivoactive 4 dead spots touch screen

My watches touch screen has dead spots. Garmin wants $217 to exchange for a refurbished with 3 months. This seems crazy since these problems are supper common on these watches and I will probably be in the same boat in 3 months. If you haven't bought a Garmin watch don't buy one.

Has anyone found a fix for the dead spots on the touch screen? Mine is on top.

Also my buttons stop working . I restart and they work again for a few hours.

Also it keeps changing to the about screen on it own.

I am very frustrated with this watch.
