Repeated reboots while saving an activity

I upgraded to 2.70 and since then my two hiking activities are rebooting the watch during the activity saving. After the watch restarts the activity is loaded back. I save it and it reboots again. That repeats multiple times until it finally succeeds (5-10 attempts). Probably related to elevation but it is just a guess. My two running activities saved fine on first attempt.

Any idea what is going on? Bug?

Same issue here on a trail run activity. Took about 8 tries and finally saved.

Yesterday I had very long restart (~ 2 minutes) while pausing treking or hike activity (I'm not sure about translation from polish). I was frightened as it was 30km mountain hiking and did not want to lose it. After restart activity was recovered but I lost altitude history from start.

This is very disconcerting. I tried 5-6 times after a trail run to save it, then tried to resume later and restart to no avail. I just tried and in the 5 iteration it saved. Something with the sensor hub update? Has anyone tried to wipe everything and start fresh?

Today another hike another reboot. Saved on 2nd try.

This happened to the point where my last trail run activity wouldn’t save at all. I had to switch the sport to “Run” and then save. Extremely frustrating.

I just encountered this issue this AM after a bike ride. Finally I just selected "Resume Later" and connected it to Garmin Express on my laptop and it transferred and saved correctly.

I am submitting a ticket to Garmin; hopefully you all have as well.

My 945 with v2.70 rebooted after saving my long run today. Would seem something broke in the latest firmware.

Maybe not for everyone. Our two did a duathlon yesterday and saved without problem. Do you have anything else added? Our are as they came with nothing added.

Today it took me 10(!) tries to save the activity each but the last one resulted in watch restart. I also noticed the same issue is with discarding an activity. My mountain hiking trip is now over so I will see if it is elevation related or not.

Former Member what's the best way to get a bug filed? This issue is pretty frustrating and I would like to avoid reseting all settings in hopes of fixing it.
