Garmin Smartwatches Facing Blue Triangle of Death Issue
A significant number of Garmin smartwatch users have recently reported a troubling issue with their devices, referred to as the ‘blue triangle of death’. This problem has rendered their smartwatches non-functional, as they seem to be stuck in a continuous boot cycle displaying the blue triangle logo repeatedly, as reported by The Verge.
The affected smartwatches belong to various Garmin model series such as Epix, Venu, Forerunner, Descent, and Fenix. Users from different countries worldwide have experienced this issue, indicating a widespread impact.
The root cause of this problem appears to be a bug related to the GPS activity of the smartwatches. Some users have noted that engaging in other activities does not trigger the bug, suggesting a specific vulnerability in the GPS functionality.
Garmin has acknowledged the issue and is currently investigating it. The company has advised that a reboot may temporarily resolve the problem, offering a glimmer of hope for affected users.
