Garmin swim 2 switched off unexpectedly during session

My Garmin swim 2 switched off unexpectedly 45 minutes into my swim routine, this is the second time this occurs in about 3 to 4 weeks.
I did not touch any of the buttons, not sure if this is a defect or a fluke but will keep an eye on this. this unit is under 12 months old!


  • I’m on my 3rd watch after this problem . Did my 1st pool swim last night with the newest watch and it reset itself just like the others have done . One of my training partners had exactly the same problem although he lost his session where mine was stored 

  • Why do you think that a software bug will be cured by a hardware replacement?

    Did it reset in the workout mode?

    What system do you have on your phone?

    I ask these questions because in the last beta description it is stated that all of this reset issues are when interacting with iPhones, I never ever experienced any restart problem (I use Android and do not use workout mode)

    Maybe you need to try the 2.52 beta

  • Do you think I diagnosed the problem myself as a hardware fault? I reported the probelm to Garmin and that was the solution they offered. After seeing the beta release I am going to switch the bluetooth off on my phone while I swim to see if that helps. 

  • Sorry, if my question felt offensive. I hope that either the beta or disconnecting from the phone will help.
