How To Reset A Garmin Watch?

Here are the steps to reset a Garmin watch:

1. Hold down the power/light button for 10-15 seconds until the watch turns off.
2. Once the watch is off, press and hold the power/light button for another 5 seconds until the Garmin logo appears on the screen.
3. When the logo appears, release the power/light button. The watch will now power up and go through its initializing screen.
4. The watch has now been reset and should be at its factory default settings. You may need to set up your preferences and connect it to your Garmin Connect account again.

Resetting a Garmin watch will clear all settings, apps, data and customizations. Only connect it to your Garmin account after the reset is complete to restore your saved activities and information.
