Hi all, I’m trying to confirm whether this behavior is expected or a defect on my epix Pro (Gen 2) 47 mm Sapphire.

**What I'm seeing:**
*When I press the Light button several times quickly (e.g., trying to toggle the backlight), the watch jumps into what looks like demo mode and then comes back as if it’s a fresh device.
*After this, my setup is gone and I need to go through initial setup/restore again. It’s not just a quick restart.

**Steps to reproduce (on my watch):**
*Set up the watch fully (watch face, settings, activities, etc.; not in demo mode).
*Press the Light button multiple times in quick succession
*The watch enters a demo-like state and then returns as if it’s been reset.

**Device and versions**
*Device: epix Pro (Gen 2) 47 mm Sapphire (010-02803-30)	•	*Software (firmware) version: latest public build at the time of recording the video (I can’t check the exact number right now because the watch is with the retailer)

**Context**
*My original unit didn’t do this.
*Replacement units started showing this.
*I’ve been told both “this is normal demo mode behavior” and “this shouldn’t happen on a properly set-up watch,” so I’m looking for community confirmation.


Garmin epix Pro Gen 2: pressing Light multiple times triggers “demo mode”/factory reset? Is this normal?
