Garmin Resolves 'Blue Triangle of Death' Issue Impacting Smartwatches

The company has identified the problem, updated its software, and provided fixes, though some users may face data loss during recovery.

Garmin smartwatches and GPS devices were affected by a boot-up error displaying a 'blue triangle of death,' rendering them unusable.
The issue was traced to a faulty update file, which has since been replaced with a corrected version on Garmin's servers.
Affected users are advised to reset their devices and sync them with Garmin Connect or Garmin Express to restore functionality.
Some models require factory resets or manual file deletion, which can result in data loss, including Garmin Wallet and custom settings.
Garmin has faced criticism for its handling of the incident, though it claims to have resolved the underlying issue causing the error.
