I've been running this live blog for hours, and been inundated with reports of many of the best Garmin watches, including every Garmin Forerunner, Garmin Venu, certain Garmin Fenix watches, Epix watches, Instinct watches, and even cycling computers have been crashing or stuck in their respective boot-up screens today, usually signified by a blue triangle.

Users have reached out to support and been told a fix is coming, and I've had word from Garmin directly, who are looking into it. So many of you have reached out via email, and I've shared quite a few of your stories and fixes on this live blog. TechRadar will continue to update this blog as the situation develops, and you'll be the first to know when a fix is published.

Garmin has updated its statement at the top of its support page in the United States, though it still recommends a similar fix. "We are aware of an issue causing some devices to be stuck on the start up screen or a blue triangle. To resolve this, press and hold the power button until the device turns off, then power it back on, and sync with the Garmin Connect app or Garmin Express. If this does not resolve your issue, Please click here for more information.".
