BRICKED Watch? No reset sequences work for this watch to revive it if something corrupts a file? GARMIN REALLY?
Last week my FR 645 (non music) owned 3 weeks gave this triangle of death. I spoke to Garmin and they sent me a new watch. I took it out of box, sync’d with my iPhone (I was going away for the weekend so I wanted to use my watch and was thrilled to have it before my trip). Less than 5mins of new watch being out of box and I got another triangle of death. I’m considering returning the watch and going back to my FR 235.
How does ine hard rest this watch? I saw on a FR 935 thread that iPhone App and that watch have issues and causes these triangle of deaths. So I’m going to remove app and clean up workouts. Clean up registered watches and would like to start from scratch or figure this out myself. But no way to hard reset this watch like in all their past watches FR 205,305,610,620... etc.
Information on watch:
FR 645 non music sandstone
v3.10
iPhone 7
iOS 11.3.1
Garmin Mobile App 4.60.18
i updated a core workout added to my calendar in the app and selected sync to watch icon in app when it gave me triangle of death. When I received new watch, it asked to sync with phone and I did and received Triangle of Death.
UPDATE 5/28/2018: Went to REI to swap watch out for another watch (black band, not happy about that since I love the Sandstone color and no one in area has this color of the watchband), but Garmin is closed for the holiday and I have time today to work on this.
1, I deleted Garmin Connect Mobile App and reinstalled on my iPhone 7. I haven't tried to sync the watch to phone yet, but I am going to get Garmin on phone tomorrow to do this.
2, I just connected watch via USB to Garmin Express and saw the updated 3.10 software is on this watch already sync'd to this version, so I don't have to update watch.
3. i am afraid to use Garmin Connect Mobile App since that is what screwed up my watch. I am thinking of deleting all my workouts on Garmin Connect, since that is what originally hosed the original watch.
BUT the problem is the watch becomes a BRICK and you can not RESET IT without getting another watch!!
