Restarting Garmin Vivoactive
- Press and hold the power button on the side of your Garmin Vivoactive watch. This button is usually located on the right side of the watch.
- Keep holding the button until the device powers off. This may take around 15-20 seconds.
- After the watch completely powers down, wait for a few seconds.
- Press and hold the power button again until the device powers back on. You should see the Garmin logo during this process.
Fixing Common Restart Issues
- Drained Battery: If your watch doesn't restart, the battery might be low. Connect it to a charger and ensure it's charged before trying to restart again.
- Software Update: Outdated software might cause issues. Connect your Garmin Vivoactive to a computer using Garmin Express to check for any available updates.
- Factory Reset: If restarting doesn't solve the problem, consider performing a factory reset. This will erase all data, so ensure you backup any important information. In the watch settings, find the 'System' option, then select 'Restore Defaults' or 'Factory Reset'. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the reset.
- Contact Support: If none of the above solutions work, there might be a hardware issue. Contact Garmin support for further assistance.
