Suggestions for improvements (Venu 3)

3952375 over 1 year ago

After a month of using the Venu 3, I would have the following suggestions for improvements:

Count MINUTES OF INTENSITY even if no activity is taking place. For example, when just walking.
Sometimes gestures don't work. The display won't turn on.
Add an option to turn off the touchscreen at least for sleep time. The display should not turn on when touched (nor the padlock symbol). The display should only be activated by a button.
Larger images in notifications (at least twice).

Thank you

No, lock icon does not turn off touch screen... display still is activated with a touch, or a gesture. You can not interact with it (padlock screen), but it activates.

I would like to have an option to…

Does this not work for you? - Long press A (action menu) to get to the controls menu, then select the lock icon. To enable touch, long press any button.

A few possible reasons for this - My Watches Display Is Not Turning on When I Turn My Wrist

And see "gesture sensitivity" here - Customizing the Display Settings

Also, suggest submitting your ideas using Garmin's Share Ideas page.

I would like to have an option to disable touchscreen as well.

Then something is broken, the manual is wrong, or I'm interpreting this wrong.

In which case, I suggest submitting a case to Garmin Support

If this is indeed by design, then use the Garmin Share Ideas page submit an official request for change.

ad touchscreen - If you accidentally touch the screen with any part of your body during sleep, the screen lights up, which is disturbing at night.

ad gestures - I've already tried adjusting sensitivity and no factor is relevant in the linked article. I just walk and twice the gesture shows the clock and once not (within 5 minutes, same hand gesture).

In that case, Share Ideas page to submit your request, or if something is broken, Garmin Product Support.
