FR920XT powered up fine, found GPS, ready for an outside run. Then, black box pops up when I try to start recording: 'memory full'. Hmmm...Back inside, grabbed my Amazfit Bip S (haha, a type of a joke vs. Garmin, but maybe really not), got a GPS fix and ran. Came home and turned off the 920XT. Turned it back on to see if a 'reboot' would fix things. Took a long time to move from the 'Garmin' logo screen to the watch screen. Hmmm...my CIQ watchface doesn't show – I get the Garmin default watch screen. I pretend to run and – no 'memory full' message. Then, look at history...there is none. I've been here before, unfortunately. Connected by wire to Garmin Express. Syncs, all fine. Let's look at the CIQ on the device. GE says: 1. disconnect watch from computer, 2. follow instructions on watch, 3. reconnect. Allllright... When the 920XT disconnects, I get a message about installing an update. Allllright...what sort of update is Garmin pushing to this device? A few minutes later, update done and back to the default Garmin watchface. Reconnect to GE...and...there are no CIQ on the watch. In fact...everything is gone – ACTIVITIES folder is empty. Essentially a factory reboot.
Yup, more-or-less the same thing happened last December. So, I know what to do – factory reset and restore everything from a backup (not the activities, though). One step closer to a new Coros, I guess...
Really just griping about the well known inability of Garmin to provide robust firmware for their expensive devices. Why tell me that the storage is full? The device has figured that part out, so ... fix it! Enormously frustrating to re-establish all of my preferred screens on multiple sports (no way to do this on the mobile app, of course, that might be saved as a backup). Really, kind of a sh!tshow...
