Use VARIA VISION during charging

Former Member
Former Member
I`m looking for a device which can be used if necessary 24*7 for monitoring and controlling heart rate during practising Yoga and Meditation. VARIA VISION would be suitable for that, and the device isn`t too big that it could be worn 24*7. But I have read that during charging VARIA VISION only shows a charging indicator. It would be fine when VARIA VISION could be used also during charging. Then a battery back could be attached, and the device could be used 24*7, either attached on glasses or as a insight display for all day use.

    Yes, if GARMIN does not want to attract new clients, they do it right!
  • When Garmin, or any business, contemplates a new market segment, they need to know how big it is and whether the sales they can produce will justify the cost of serving that market segment.

    I doubt your market segment, “24 / 7 visual heart-rate monitoring” using the Varia Vision or something like it is big enough to justify developing for it.

    Your request/expectations of the Varia Vision goes well beyond it's intended purpose. But market pressures do drive changes but you'll have to convince Garmin with numbers.


    Is Garmin not interested in the developement of Varia Vision? Do I have to to convince Garmin with numbers? Does not rather Garmin has to convince me as a costumer with a product which is worth bying? Can Varia Vision not simply be updated, so that it can be used during charging?

    I am not a developer, and I just choose the most suitable product for my needs. I bought an other product for my needs. I also bought Varia Vision for my needs. But I still miss that Varia Vision cannot be used during charging. And all my students who will follow me as a teacher for Yoga and Meditation.
