Auto Tracking activity not working Venu 3

I recently got a Venu 3 watch and one of the things that is really important to me is the auto tracking of an activity.

The watch do have the latest public version 11.14 (non Beta)

I ve noticed that the auto tracking feature for work has never worked for me, set it down to 5 minutes but even after a 2km walt, it doesn't do anything.

Is this a known bug or am I missing something here,

Also, while tracking an activity, there is no option to go back to home screen? you are only locked in the data screens?

I do not understand how is it possible a 500dollar watch advertised as smart and not able to do basic stuff samsung watches are doing since ther beginning even with the Tizen OS or other mainstream watches. Thats a big bummer.

    You can go to the home screen during an activity by swiping right. It'll go back to the activity screen eventually, but you can swipe around to different screens.

    I found about the swipe but as you said it always comes back to the activity.

    I am really pissed with myself and Garmin.

    Unfortunately I never checked what Venu 3 offers as features.

    I couldn't believe that a new 500$ watch do not have the training load/focus/readiness.

    How come my old edge 830 had it but a new smartwatch does not.

    I am gutted with garmin. If you want a smartwatch to take calls and the training load/focus/readiness, you have to go with fenix 8. Training is just a metric, nowhere near related with the hardware.

    I think garmin should reduce its SKUs as they are all over the place and only confusion creates.
