Garmin’s instructions seem to suggest that devices will need to be factory reset if a power cycle does not work. Reconfiguring a watch from scratch would be inconvenient, so it might be worth waiting to see if Garmin can issue an update that resolves the issue. If you cannot wait too long, you might just have to go through the hassle.

If you woke up to find your Garmin smartwatch isn’t working, you’re not alone. Several Garmin users are reporting this morning their watches are stuck in a never-ending boot screen featuring a so-called “blue triangle of death.” Others are stuck in the typical boot screen. However, once stuck, users are unable to do anything else with their device.
