Hi guys, I just had this issue with my 2019 swim 2, and I managed to recover it. THe 15-second light button didn´t solve the issue. But another procedure did the trick:

- First turn off the watch by pressing the light button for 15 seconds.

- Press and hold both right buttons (start/stop and Lap/back)

- Press the light button and hold all 3 buttons pressed, when the triangle appears, release the light button (top lef)

- When you hear the first beep, release the top right button (start/stop)

- When you hear the second beep, release the bottom right number (lap/back)

The watch should return to factory mode, you´ll loose everything, but the watch will come back to life. Re-connect to your phone and everything should go back to normal!

Worked for me, at least.

Wow, how did you find out this combination?

I‘m still happy with my FR 945 and found a buyer for the replaced Garmin Swim 2.
