Garmin Fenix 7 Solar Sapphire purchased in 2022 for about €700 turned off overnight at ~18% charge after ski touring with no water ingress or impact, and would not power on despite resets and charging attempts. German Garmin refused out-of-warranty repair after about three years and offered only modest discounts on newer models requiring the dead watch as trade-in.
