**[City, State] – [Date]** – Garmin watch users across the globe are reporting a widespread issue causing their devices to become stuck in a boot loop, displaying a blue triangle loading screen. The problem, first highlighted on Reddit, has seen a surge in complaints from owners of various Garmin models.
Affected users describe their watches crashing during GPS activities, often while selecting a workout. The devices then continuously cycle through the Garmin logo, becoming unusable.
Garmin has acknowledged the problem, stating they are “researching reports of devices displaying a blue triangle when starting a GPS activity.” The company suggests a temporary fix involving a hard reset by holding down the power button. However, a permanent solution is still under investigation.
While Garmin’s Japanese website confirms the global nature of the bug, a definitive cause remains unclear. Some users, posting on X (formerly Twitter), speculate the issue may be linked to the watch’s GPS connection.
Garmin customer support has contacted some affected users, assuring them the issue is under investigation. Although some users report success with a hard reset, others are still experiencing the problem.
The company is urging patience while they work on a permanent fix and apologizes for the inconvenience. Users are advised to consult the Garmin website for model-specific instructions on performing a hard reset. For now, the extent of the affected models and the precise cause remain under investigation.
