Garmin Forerunner 165 display glitching

Hello everyone,

Has anyone else experienced their Garmin Forerunner 165 Music screen becoming distorted or glitchy like this? (video attached).

I have looked after the watch properly – it has never been dropped, never been in water, and it is fully updated with the latest software.

I thought the recent updates had fixed the previous screen glitch issues?

Has anyone else had a similar experience, or any thoughts?

What did you do when the glitch happened? Was it during a workout or just wearing it?

The 165 has been plagued with glitchy screens since February. New issues are totally unacceptable! Garmin-Hannah

Saw something similar when running on 24.12 software, never saw it on 24.13. Scared the *** out of me, I thought some water managed to enter my watch and damaged it...
