Their response is completely contradictory to what the watch itself displays. They basically told me that this was already investigated and closed because prescribing unadapted workouts on race day is the intended behavior of the product (&amp;#39;by design&amp;#39;) , and therefore engineering will not look into it. Here is the translated response from Garmin Iberia: &amp;quot;Dear Pedro, Thank you for contacting Garmin Iberia. Thank you for all the information provided and for the time spent performing the requested tests. After reviewing your case again, we inform you that this incident was already registered, analyzed internally, and subsequently closed after the verifications performed. The conclusion reached by our teams was that the behavior observed on your device corresponds to the intended operation of the product, and therefore no bug was identified that would require a correction or modification by engineering. For this reason, reopening or re-escalating the case to the development teams is not planned, as the incident was already reviewed and closed with the conclusion that the device is operating according to current specifications. We understand this response may not be what you expected and we sincerely appreciate your feedback, as our users&amp;#39; opinions are taken into account for future assessments and potential product improvements. Best regards, Judith&amp;quot; So according to them, suggesting a standard 55-minute base run on race day with zero adaptation is &amp;#39;by design&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;working as expected&amp;#39;. How can this be the intended behavior when the Venu 4&amp;#39;s own screen explicitly displays a message telling the user that daily suggested workouts will adapt to the race event? Either the on-screen prompt is completely misleading, or support is just labeling a broken feature as &amp;#39;working as intended&amp;#39; to close tickets.</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: is your edge so bad in syncing?

He&amp;#39;s not wrong. I&amp;#39;ve 4 apps pending and Garmin randomly approved one of those and left the other three untouched. Many other developers told me their newly submitted apps were approved on the same day. They ARE cherry picking app approvals and it&amp;#39;s not hard to check this for yourself. How many times do you need to comment this and ask Garmin for help? Did you not see the amount of threads people opened here in the recent weeks? All of them were left unanswered by the iq connect team. I already filed a formal complaint to Garmin Germany and now they are legally obliged to respond, because they restricted my merchant account without any prior notice or explanation why. You can ask nicely and give them a chance or two, but at some point you have to understand that they simply don&amp;#39;t care unless you take legal action.</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: is your edge so bad in syncing?

Software 6.49 (since Oct 3). Settings during all tests: Wi-Fi off, voice commands off, Pulse Ox on-demand only, no Connect IQ apps, no inReach/LTE subscription and never used, paired with phone via Bluetooth. Factory reset done on Sep 21 (clean setup, no backup restored). The LTE/Satellite setting shows &amp;quot;Automatic&amp;quot; and cannot be changed, because there is no active subscription. Two full cycles with AOD on (brightness 2/3), same settings, normal daily use. GPS was not used at all in either cycle. Cycle #1 included one indoor padel session (about 1 h on Oct 8, GPS off). Cycle #2 had no recorded activities at all, and it still drained slightly faster. Cycle Start End Drain Rate AOD on #1 Oct 7, 16:42 – 100% Oct 10, 15:00 – 0% (shut down) 100% in 70 h ~1.42%/h (~34%/day) AOD on #2 Oct 10, 18:30 – 100% Oct 13, 11:00 – 3% (put on charge) 97% in 64.5 h ~1.50%/h (~36%/day) The rate is almost constant (1.3–1.6%/h) and does not drop overnight. Battery Usage puts ~99% under &amp;quot;System&amp;quot;; inside System, &amp;quot;Other&amp;quot; is by far the largest item (e.g. Other 67%, Display 16%, Phone connectivity 5% after 91% used). Display is a small share even with AOD on. With AOD off and minimum brightness (Sep 24 – Oct 7), the watch lasted ~13 days, but the daily drain swung between ~2% and ~10% with no change in settings or use. In the first days after purchase (6.48) it lost 41% in under 33 h. Garmin Support has had battery logging enabled since late September; no feedback yet. Questions: Is anyone else seeing &amp;quot;System &amp;gt; Other&amp;quot; as the main consumer? On units without a subscription, is LTE/Satellite also locked on &amp;quot;Automatic&amp;quot;, and could it still be searching in the background? smithmc2 reported a large difference with it on vs off; has anyone found a way to turn it off without a subscription? Has Garmin acknowledged this or replaced units?</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: GPS Sample (if anyone curious)</title><link>https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/outdoor-recreation/f/enduro-4/446026/gps-sample-if-anyone-curious/2071184</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 Oct 2026 10:25:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">a9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:9e4ee3f6-d54f-4a3c-8223-9d6a44bcfb20</guid><dc:creator>Luca</dc:creator><description>Since you’re so kind and are coming from the Fenix ​​7—the same generation as my 955—could you please describe your experience with the new (and presumably stunning) Enduro 4?
