@olymay that’s sad cause it fixed the similar issue for me, and seems the same to @pilleus. So it seems contact support and make it fixed by them your only way.

@pavel-samokha it looks like @pilleus had to do three factory resets for it to work. I will try one more later today, and I have new phone arriving tomorrow which will force me to do another reset, Maybe it will work, maybe it won’t.

I have taken a video of the issue as it happening today. This was recorded indoors, so there is no GPS lock, however it does the same thing even with a lock.

@olymay I tried on my watch but I don’t have the crash. Interestingly, your watch does not seem to get into the low power mode in the video, while mine does after 10 seconds more or less.

@isazi It used to go into the low power mode, until yesterday. Before yesterday and after the update) when following a route it would be after just over 1K when it would throw it’s wobble. But it does it almost straight away as you can see.

@olymay to be honest, I would ask support to take your watch and try to fix it, or send you a replacement unit.

@isazi I’m going to persevere with some more factory resets, as I really don’t want to be without my watch for up to a month. Especially as right now I am in the middle of a charity run during October.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!!

After three factory resets my watch seemed to be behaving last night (was only tested indoors and not on a run). My new phone arrived this morning so I went through a fourth factory reset to connect that.

I have just been for a 7K run following a route and it worked PERFECTLY!!

It seems that multiple factory resets (three seems to be the magic number) manages to clear whatever glitch may be present.

For me the 3 factory resets solved the problem too.

I guess I’m lucky - I had to reset only once

olymay

@pavel-samokha Very lucky, but at least it worked
