'Garmin' 'Epix Gen 2': Software Update 21.19 (Yesterday) Was An DISASTER. A Total Abomination.

Click to ENLARGE.

That is IT. I am so, so DONE with bloody Garmin.

I have auto-update on. So, 21.19 was automatically downloaded yesterday. I was asked permission to install it & I said 'Yes' assuming that it was a 'normal' update.

My mistake.

It was a bloody disaster. An abomination.

After the update my Epix Gen 2 was DEAD. DEAD. Like a brick.

Well, I have worn a Garmin on my wrist for 8-years. I know  thing or two about them. I have gone through much with them.

I AM AN EXPERT on Garmin SOFT RESETS!

I did 6 SOFT RESETS. Finally I got some life.

I pressed buttons, canceled FIT & Map updates ... & finally got it to boot.

My customized watch faces were SHOT.

I had to re-customize the one I use the MOST.

I was not amused.

I had wasted an HOUR.

I didn't have an hour to waste.

I was so disgusted.

Earlier this year I had decided that after 8-years, & 14 DIFFERENT Garmins (in those 8 years) THAT I am DONE with Garmin.

Stupid Prices. Too many outages. And unreliable software.

I am going with either an 'Amazfit' or a 'Wear OS' watch. I will sure keep you posted. Promise.
