The raise to wake feature works well. What makes it seem like it takes an excessive amount of time is the fade in.
Is it possible to add a choice so it can either fade in/out or just do on/off?

I'm a bit surprised by the official pessimistic response from Garmin on this. The development work required for this feature is trivial (a menu option and an if block) but it has a significant usability…
I think so....mine seems slower on the new update!
It's a shame Garmin won't remove the fade in, even as an option.
It's a relatively simple change...so making the change shouldn't be an issue…
Update: Just decided to return my watch, partially because of this and partially because of issues with bluetooth/syncing. Unfortunate.
Garmin-AmberD can create a user request for us but I have not really seen to many of these requests get implemented
Hey there! Thank you for your feed back, I can send this to my team but there are no guarantees changes will be implemented.
Please do so. It is so annoying. a fast watch with slow fade in of time and stuttering through the whole system. thx.
I'm a bit surprised by the official pessimistic response from Garmin on this. The development work required for this feature is trivial (a menu option and an if block) but it has a significant usability improvement for users. I am seeing a common theme across many threads and prominent reviewers and it appears that Garmin neglects their lower end watches, and only provides maintenance updates rather than new/ported features from their other watch lines. It is a shame as I have a 4 year old WearOS watch that continues to receive WearOS feature updates despite its age.
I have just made the plunge into the Garmin ecosystem and received my Venu 2 yesterday. But now I'm on the fence and I'm leaning towards returning it.
I realized on my Venu 2 that the fade-in effect only happens indoors. When I'm outside it comes on instantly, so it's somehow connected to the ambient light sensor. I hoped turning the brightness all the way up would fix this, but it doesn't. Wish it was always instant, seems like it takes 3 times as long to see what time it is when I'm indoors.
I just got the Venu 2S and this is easily the thing that jumped out to me the most. It's so pointlessly frustrating on an otherwise great watch. It's already been the tipping point for some of my friends to choose Apple watches instead.
Agreed, I moved from F5X+ to Venu 2 due to the screen and new features and this slow fade-in is horrible.
There is a watch face that immediately shows the hour and then it fades in the rest of the details... so it is possible and extremely simple to do it

Hi, which face is this?
