I wore my venu 4 yesterday over my cycling jacket. While getting the bike ready I noticed the raise to wake gesture was not working before staring the activity. The screen remained off. During the ride it was fine but I have it in always on mode. During the ride it did seem to react to wrist gestures.
if anyone has a solution for the raise to wake gesture not working in standard/non-activity mode please let me know. My cycling jacket has thick sleeves. When worn over thin sleeves it works okay. I’m guessing the heart rate sensor is being used to determine if it should activate the screen, which still works through thin clothing.
I hope this can be fixed and am enjoying the watch otherwise. I have not had this problem on my Forerunner 965…
