All,

Thank you for sharing and I am very sorry about this disruption. We are aware and investigating reports. If you are seeing this error message please try the following.

If you have access to a computer, sync or add your device to Garmin Express: Remove and Add a Device in Garmin Express. After you sync/check for updates, safely eject the watch and unplug. Proceed to the next step.
On your watch, long hold the middle left button:
- Scroll UP and select System
- Select About
- Press the upper left button 8 times
- Select to reinstall software

If you do not have access to a computer, go ahead and just try step number two.

It is the upper left button, not the upper right. Getting more and more disappointed Garmin......

I upgraded the system latest version 1 day ago.

Today 5:00am. I got up and prepared to go out for run. But i found the same message- need wireleas v28.19-.

I spent 2hours to fix it.
