Garmin users say their watches are bricked with a 'blue triangle of death'
Briefly

Reports have emerged from Garmin smartwatch users facing issues with their devices being stuck on a boot screen, specifically displaying a 'blue triangle of death.' This problem affects multiple models, including the Epix, Venu, Forerunner, Descent, and Fenix. Garmin acknowledged the issue, attributing it to starting GPS activities, and suggested that resetting the device might temporarily resolve the problem. Until a permanent fix is provided, users are advised to avoid GPS functionality and stick to non-GPS activities to prevent encountering boot loops.
Garmin is researching reports of devices displaying a blue triangle when starting a GPS activity. A reset by pressing and holding the power button may restore functionality.
The issue appears to be widespread across countries and devices, particularly affecting the Epix, Venu, Forerunner, Descent, and Fenix lineups.
Initially, resetting the device was able to 'fix' the device, but subsequently it's been stuck in a continuous boot loop.
Some users have anecdotally shared that non-GPS activities do not seem to trigger the boot loop.
