Is it ok to shut down and restart the watch once a day?

I am just thinking with the random problems I have had requiring a reset, whether or not this is a good idea? I charge daily, usually right after I wake up .........
  • well think about it as a software device, how often do you shut down and restart your laptop or your iphone? I think i do it like 2x a month. This watch once a week seems ok, daily is a stretch i would say.

    If you're talking about turning it off and then back on I would think that's OK as many prefer not to wear their VA3 while sleeping and people have been doing that with Garmin devices for awhile. If you're talking about the 15 sec hard reset I think that may be a little harsh on the device over time. It's all speculation on my part and Garmin would be the one to give you a definitive answer.
  • Well I got on Chat and they said it should not hurt the device but should not be necessary. I found out I was running on an old version of Garmin Express (5.7.1.0) and now it is 5.9.0.0 and the agent thought that might help my problems. Surprised the update did not pop up to be installed.
