The Garmin smartwatches crashing are operating firmware variations 11.16, 20.29, and others cited in online boards. The problem might be associated with an issue with Garmin’s Join IQ platform (CIQ), probably the Storage.setValue() operate. The latter is utilized by apps and watchfaces to save lots of information. As soon as the affected watch faces crash, different faces crash as properly till the watch is restarted. However, that does not completely repair the issue because the watch will proceed to crash and present the “IQ!” error message even after being shut down and turned again on.
“Initially I assumed it was the battery. I feel that it’s the watch face integration with Garmin. It shuts down randomly, largely at night time. Now generally once I invoke an exercise, after connecting with GPS and pressing the beginning button on the VivoActive 4, it simply shuts off. Not too long ago, even after I hit a purpose, like steps for the day, it simply randomly shuts off. I attempted a tough reboot whereas the watch was charging, I attempted powering to full, and so forth… It was nonetheless taking place. I simply modified watch faces to see if that helps. I’ve had a Garmin watch since 2018. That’s tremendously irritating.”-Resthink, Reddit subscriber
