I drew the line when Garmin wanted to perform yet another hard reset.

No data lost when sync'd to smartphone so a hard reset is not an issue for me.

After hard reset I allowed it to go thru its update sequence and have had no problems since then

Every few days when I received a notification, it would lock up and vibrate until it was hard-reset (holding in the power button for 10s).

Garmin has recommended full factory-resetting the unit when this occurs, which in turn wipes out all of the personalized settings, making it a 1.5 hour task when the unit malfunctions.

Tried soft reset, hard reset - nothing works

I also tried a hard reset, and a software update

S/W updates are awful.

n’t had any problems with
