Venu 4 again frozen and inaccurate heart rate

My watch froze again. Now after 38 minutes of a runnining workout. Before it did it was showing an inaccurate heart rate (constantly around 150 when I was running and then 170 when I took a walking break).

Is there a solution to this?

These are basic functions which should work flawlessly!

After many years with Garmin I am considering to return my watch and give a competitor an opportunity.

Please fix this asap.

  • You say it “only” froze 3 times in one month since the exchange. It should not freeze at all. This is still unacceptable. Garmin needs to step up and provide a solution which work at all times and not waste our time with exchanges and asking us for DMs with data they already have. Thinking of returning it and trying a Polar or other brand. I need something that reliably works or at least a company which openly communicates they are working on a solution and are aware of such a significant issue.

  • Just happened to me today!!! Spotify playing with Bluetooth headphones. Forced restart and it brought me back into my activity about a minute before it froze. 

  • There was a software update to version 15.16. Please make sure to update your software and test the watch for a few days to see if this still happens. If it does not resolve, please start a new thread and include the following:

    • a video of the watch freezing/or in a frozen state
    • If you are listening to music when this happens and what was the music source (Spotify, Amazon, downloaded, etc.) 
    • what brand of headphones are you using
    • what were you doing right before the watch froze
