Feature Request: Longer vibration alerts during phone calls.

I would like to request that when connected to my phone, and a phone call comes in, that the tone and vibration alerts last longer than just 1 small tone alert and 1 small vibration alert. For a phone call, I would love it if the vibration lasted through the call if it continues to go un-answered. Thank you.
  • Even better, it should be user configurable. But have you contacted Garmin with this request? If you post it here they will probably ignore it.
  • Is this a thing? For some reason I feel like my watch has a long double vibration that repeats until I answer or it goes away. I admit I haven't really paid attention or noticed it as a problem. Do you have it on vibrate only? Vibrate and alert tone?

    What is the best way to go about an official Feature Request? I see that in the Garmin Forums under Garmin Connect there is a specific feature request category.

    I have tried all the options and still only get 1 small beep and 1 small vibrate whenever the phone is ringing. Can you confirm if yours is different at all? I am using iOS as well.
  • Honestly, I have no idea. You would think I would, since I get calls all the time and am wearing my watch all the time as well. I am on a Fenix 5Plus ROW version, sw v6.0, and Iphone 8 with GCM v4.15.0.28. I'll pay more attention to it the next time I get a call to see what the actual behavior is. I do know that mine is on vibration only.
  • Yes it's would be nice to configurate this one. 

  • Waiting for this option very much! Dear Garmin Product Managers, could you please give some additional settings upon this feature?
    And that's really strange, because cheapest Mi Band 4 ten times more convinient in this area, that Garmin watches !

  • please add a longer vibration feature. 

  • I ditched Garmin just because of this. Fitbit and Samsung have this feature but both have their own limitations.
