Some Garmin smartwatches are crashing and show the IQ! error message with the exclamation mark in orange.
A mystery has taken over the world of Garmin smartwatches. Several users report that their watch face crashes showing the « IQ! » error message with the exclamation mark colored orange. This odd bug has been affecting Garmin watch owners for months now on popular timepieces from Garmin such as the Venu 3, Forerunner 965, Fenix 7, and others. There appears to be no rhyme or reason as some say the crash occurs after receiving a notification while others say this issue occurs randomly during regular use.
The Garmin smartwatches crashing are running firmware versions 11.16, 20.29, and others cited in online forums.The issue could be related to a problem with Garmin’s Connect IQ platform (CIQ), possibly the Storage.
