Watch freezes, reboots and loops when connected to Garmin Express (FR955 Solar Black - PB 16.12 (and 16.09))


Hi team.

Posted this in the beta bug sub-page but thought maybe it wasn't a Beta issue but a general. Any one of you experienced it?

I am trying to connect my watch to Garmin Express but the watch freezes.

Started on PB 16.09:

At first it looped and rebooted with ""converting GPX files...". After some boots it got past that but then stuck at "[something] loading FIT file". Then I soft reset (long-press on Light) after a few loops. Took it out of the cable and restarted. Works fine. Tried again. Then the watch simply froze on the Watch Face. Clock stopped and nothing worked. Soft reset and all good again.

Then on PB 16.12:

Just updated the watch and thought it might work. Nope. It just freezes on the Watch Face and nothing happens.

For both SW versions: Garmin Express doesn't recognise any connection and it says the watch is not connected.

I'd like to load some more music onto the watch, so please advise.

Thank you.
