My garmin watch seems to keep turning itself off when I'm using it. It's always fully charged on my runs, but after a while it turns itself off and usually I can't get it to turn back on again for a while. Then it does the same thing.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Most likely the two halves of the casing are coming loose and the contacts for the battery are not always making a connection. This happens very often with refurbished units. Did you by chance purchase a refurbished unit?
Coincidentally, my 305 did not turn on the other day. I thought it was done for (I think I have had it for 6+ years). But I did a hard reset and it came back to life.
The issue you describe has occasionally happened to me too, I would be in the middle of a run and notice the Garmin was off. I inquired with Garmin customer Service and I needed to upgrade the firmware. You should confirm you are running the latest version. It could also be you need a new battery.
Good luck.
Does Garmin have to put in the battery?
Thanks for the tips and advice. I've ordered a new battery today and will see if that does the trick. If not I will try the other options.
how long is the 305 battery supposed to last? i've had mine occasionally not turn on but so far, it hasn't died like that.
