Garmin investigates smartwatch glitch affecting thousands of users worldwide

Garmin is investigating a glitch affecting its smartwatches, which has caused devices to crash and display “IQ!” on the screen. This issue has impacted models like Venu 3, FR965, and FR265. Users have reported up to 400,000 crashes in one app since August, indicating a widespread problem. Initially thought to affect only a few, it is now affecting thousands globally. The glitch is linked to a recent software update that introduced a faulty line of code. Users can restart their watches when they crash and are advised to wait for a fix before installing new updates.
