Hi there,
for all Venu3 owner who already updated to 14.15, could you help to check if the new activity profile 'Mobility' also is now available on the Venu3?

I will use my venu until it dies or when I will buy a replacement and guess what; it will not be garmin.
I don’t see it available to add.
The Mobility activity is currently limited to the Vivoactive 6 only.
Who makes such bizarre and irresponsible decisions regarding updates? Does the company want to ruin its reputation at all costs? I understand that revenue is important, but Garmin watches are the most expensive on the market. Updates and software were something that people were convinced that they were paying a lot of money for a premium product, but they were getting software improvements. Meanwhile, a new watch is coming out, and fewer and fewer previous models are getting updates. I understand that the Rucking sport may not interest people who train in the gym, but mobility training on the Vivoactive, as well as Venu, should be an obvious matter. These are the most characteristic watches from the Fitness segment in Garmin's portfolio. Meanwhile... One has Garmin Coach Strength, the other doesn't. One has Mobility, the other doesn't. Do you have any explanation for such idiotic decisions? After all, current users will eventually turn away from you and go to the competition, because these are not the times when Apple, Samsung, Huawei made toys. Even Amazfit already has advanced strength training with calorie counting. If you want to keep customers, don't introduce features, sports on individual watches, just update the current ones when the hardware is capable of it. And most are capable of receiving updates for 5 years or more. If Apple can update after 8 years, how are you different?

I switched to Fenix 8 because I love the outdoors, hiking, and I train and compete in triathlons. The buttons in Epix Gen 2 fell off from Open Water swimming (salt probably got in and destroyed the O-rings). This coincided with the premiere of Fenix 8. So the change was intentional. But I can't imagine Garmin randomly handing out functions to watches and artificially limiting updates. Today, selling an ecosystem and switching to another is not a problem. And things like Garmin Rally, Speed Sensor or HRM Pro Plus will work with a different ecosystem. What I see and how the community using the Fenix 7 Pro series, Epix 2 Pro, and currently the Forerrunner 965, 265, 955, 255 community has been treated is reprehensible. I see the same thing starting to happen in the Fitness series - Venu, Vivoactive, Lilly, Vivomove... Features are becoming disposable because Garmin artificially and intentionally limits updates.
