 I have now get this same error two times, watch starts to show “download” screen (when charging) and when I open Suunto Link, I get this. This happens when I charge my watch connected to my PC. Is this sign from something, my watch starts to corrupt itself? Last time this happened today, after that like month a go.

 @sartoric said in Your watch needs to be reset to fix error: try a soft reset first Thanks, will try if I hit this again.

 I have seen this after a failed firmware update. Turned out to be a faulty USB cable.

 I’ve just had exactly the same issue with Suunto 9. It was just a random downloading of activities via SuuntoLink, after which I kept the watch connected to USB cable to charge it.
