Problem Activity start button

[Rclxmg m]

@freeheeler like a normal press to confirm, but instead to confirm goes again back to select sport…

[Rclxmg m]

@freeheeler the phisical button is a lil bit slowed and pops back in posotion slowly, maybe try with some warm water and bicarbonate or vinegear?

@rclxmg-m
I’ve had the same issue and tried different cleaning procedures… I do not recommend any of the things I’ve tried, unless sending it in for service.

[Rclxmg m]

@freeheeler thx man, are they fast?

[freeheeler]

@rclxmg-m
depends where you’re located, also price varies (in case your watch is already out of warranty time…)
from Switzerland to Finland, service and back within 7 days afair

[Rclxmg m]

@freeheeler italy, yes it’s out of warranty

@rclxmg-m
let it rest in luke-warm water and mild soap if you want to try to clean it
then rinse it

[freeheeler]

please update us if it helps

@freeheeler cleaned with warm/hot water 60° C, soap for cleaning dishes + bicarbonate, also rotated the button few times and now it’s a bit better, works 70% of the times but that’s ok for now, will clean it again and see if it gets better. thx to all

@rclxmg-m delete it and recreate it

[freeheeler]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos
but based on his findings with the cleaning it appears to be rather a mechanical than a software issue, doesn’t it?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@freeheeler oh

[Chew Bacca]

The buttons need to be replaced, all three of them. That would be a total of 80 to 100€ depending on where you are, including new gaskets etc.

Hope it will help the OP to start sports again

[freeheeler]

@Mff73
the patient OP

[Mff73]

I am not saying it is the case here, but don’t you feel that some posts are looking like AI bot messages?

[freeheeler]

@Mff73
some indeed do, totally agree…
not sure why they post here anyway
