Garmin Watches Face Widespread Boot Loop Issue

Users report devices stuck on a blue triangle screen, with Garmin investigating potential GPS-related causes and offering temporary fixes.

Garmin watches, including popular models like Forerunner, Fenix, Epix, and Vivoactive, are experiencing a boot loop issue, leaving devices stuck on a blue triangle logo screen.
The problem appears to be triggered during GPS or other activity usage, though Garmin has not confirmed the exact cause, with some users speculating a corrupted GPS file.
Garmin has acknowledged the issue and provided temporary troubleshooting steps, such as restarting the device and syncing it with Garmin Connect or Express apps.
If basic troubleshooting fails, Garmin advises performing a factory reset, but warns this will erase certain data, including custom watch faces, Body Battery metrics, and Garmin Wallet information.
The company is actively investigating the issue and has apologized for the inconvenience, but no permanent fix has been announced yet.
