Bluetooth broadcasting please

As the title suggest, please enable this asap.

Shouldn't really be a discussion as the watch already has bluetooth.

All the watches in this line (venu & vivoactive) have Bluetooth, but none have broadcast over BTLE

that said, the V2 does advertise itself as a source of BTLE heart rate, cadence, & speed… so it’s apparent that this is intended to be a feature in the future.

This feature is right there. You have turn it on under settings.

i have but it wont do bluetooth transfer

You are right. It's for ANT+ only, not Bluetooth at the moment. I think that decision was made to conserve battery life.

Maybe garmin could make an option with just a battery usage warning like most of the options on the watch.

Conserve battery seems like a poor excuse when some of their other watches has it and most of the industry.

This is a 400€ watch, even my 30€ xiaomi band3 use Bluetooth without much trouble and that had a good 14days of power

Seems to be working now. I enabled "broadcast during activity" and started a treadmill run. Opened Zwift on my Android phone and it recognized both heart rate, speed and cadence over bluetooth.
