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?

It does show TE now, if I look up in activity history.

It was happen to me, Hiking mode, 1000m uphill, 4hours. I erase my activity without saving it.

I can easily reproduce this. Calibrate the altimeter to e.g. 2000m ... Start an activity like hiking and try to save it. Boom, reboot.

Hi,

Didn't have it in my homeland rides ranging in height from 250m and going up to 800 accumulating upup to 600m.

When I was in Austria for a week going from 1000m to 2000m by cable car, then riding down and the back up by the cable car and on and on it happened.

Back to my homeland and the phenomena disappeared.

I had the issue with 2.7 and now 2.8. Before the 2.8 update it only happened with runs and rides that were at least few miles, now it happens when I swim to. The repeated saving is annoying, but the workout doesn't get recorded correctly in the watch when it happens... so VO2 Max doesn't work, records don't work and generally I would say all of the functionality is useless.

Glad to read that his has been given the highest priority to be solved by Garmin. Only happened once to me on a short (2-3 hours) hike, so I guess it must have to to something with the altitude.

I'm on 2.80 and still experiencing this issue. I have had it happen at sea level and also at altitude. Forerunner 945.

I am still seeing this with 2.80, at sea level and at altitude, and with bike and run modes. Repeated saves did not succeed. I had to reboot the watch and then was able to successfully save. This has been open for over a month...

Same thing happening to me with runs. Annoying thing is it cut off the end of my run, was able to save after 4 attempts. This is not the first time this has happened either.

3.08 Beta seems to fix the issue... At least I cannot reproduce it with recalibration.
