Feature Request: Watch battery percentage shown in Garmin Connect app?

I am wondering why Garmin did not implement these two simple things:

Showing battery percentage of the watch in the Connect app (instead of green dot it could be a green circle with a battery % in it)
Battery fully charged notification on phone (so when the watch fully charges you get notification on your phone that it's fully charged. So you don't need to check the watch regularly while it's charging)

These seem to me like very easy features to implement especially considering that they allow almost all watch settings to be changed on the phone. I wish they will implement this in future updates of the app.

They still don't have this? I'm v surprised, it's such an important basic feature...

Yes why not. It's so easy and so much in demand so that I can know when my watch is fully charged without having to go to where it is being charged to look up its battery percentage

yes it is needed so that I don't have to get up and see the watch status where it is being charged

I just switched from Polar to Garmin, and charging status related features are a disappointment. I can't check the charging status with the app, I don't get a notification when fully charged, and the watch screen doesn't stay on when charging or when fully charged, so I have to walk over and wake the watch up to check multiple tines. For something that needs to be done by everyone so frequently, this is unfortunate.
