Vibration too short - Fenix 5

Same for me. I had a Fenix 5S plus a few weeks ago and I felt the vibrations when receiving calls much better.
With the 5 I have missed a few calls and only noticed the "missed call" notification.
It would be nice if we could set the vibration level...

I have set the 'timeout' under the 'phone' settings to 30 seconds and 1 minute but that does nothing, not sure what that timeout function controls.

This controls how long the info is displayed on the watch. 

Same issue here, a few weeks ago my watch used to vibrate all along while someone was calling 

Now it only vibrates once or twice, this looks somehow upgrade related. 

Hi! Just realized that's a common bug of all the Garmin watch models during years. I guess there is a hundred votes for fixing that basic feature but they all are spreaded through the forum. I believe there were hundreds support requests, but they all got rejected. The only way I see, if we(!?) want to save their good name is to collect as much percent of those hundreds in one place and deliver a link. So please, add a couple words to the list: https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/healthandwellness/f/vivoactive-4-series/221333/va4-ux-error-incoming-call-notification-is-unreasonably-short-unexpected-behavior/

1 min vibration x 10 calls/day = 10 min vibration/day.

Maybe it's a matter of high battery consumption.

Haha, then it would better to keep the device off -- will dramatically increase the battery lifetime. In real world no one holds the device buzzing for a minute 10 times a day. That's the first purpose of the feature: feeling the call sooner and handle appropriately.

Of course, I've it something exaggerated to demonstrate the problem. I'm not sure that this is a bug. But have you another explanation, why Garmin obviously have shortened vibration for some devices and don't work on this problem?

I suppose they have a core problem with handling these calls. Time to time people (fortunately not me) report stuck "incoming call notification" screen. Also I see several reports about that screen appearance during already handled call. If they add stuck vibration, that would be much worse. What's better: a $1000 watch with sudden vibration, or without any? But incoming call handling is the topmost feature of any smart watch or even fitness bracelet. Garmin ads say they are hi-tech and innovative... In some extent they are: I really love their display, visible without backlight. But the soft... it's a nightmare... unfortunately

please add a longer vibration option.
