Serious question, my new smartwatch bricked itself during a software update yesterday
Honestly, it was a perfect Thursday until the screen went black and it just never turned back on. Has anyone else had a Garmin Venu 3 just die mid-update like this?

Perfect Thursday" seems like a stretch for blaming a watch. Tech fails sometimes, it's just bad luck. @dianaperry's buddy's story is probably the same one in a thousand. My old watch did the same thing, a hard reset fixed it in five minutes. People expect these things to be perfect but they're just gadgets, they glitch.

Hold up, a thousand dollar gadget should not just brick itself from a normal update. That's a huge fail on their part, not just bad luck. If a company pushes a broken update that kills the device, that's on them to fix for free, no questions asked. People have a right to be mad when expensive tech dies like that.
