Find my watch - no sound/not loud enough

Love my Venu 2 plus, but something started to bother me.

I noticed on several occasions, when I initate "find my device" in Garmin Connect, I cannot hear my watch

I discovered 2 issues:

1. If system volume is not enabled (I have my watch muted and only use vibration) it will not output any sound. And in this case the vibration in silent mode is too soft to hear anything

2. when System volume is set to max, the beep beep sound is very soft, and there is no way to make it louder

I propose the following improvement

1. As "find my device" is actually a high priority function - it should overwrite all system volumes, and switch to a fixed "loud" volume. Because of its priority (because you need to find your watch) this feature should not follow the "user set volume"

So in the case that a user (like myself) has set the watch to vibration only, and invokes the function to "find my device", the watch should overwrite "user volume" and output to a loud enough volume to be audible. This behaviour is how I experienced it on my Huawei Watch

2. Vibrations should be boosted as well (not sure if there is a current limitation), otherwise rely on sound or pre-recorded louder audio file

Hope the developers can make these improvements - my son makes it a mission to hide my watch and I require that feature:P
