That's it? a Whole new SW to fix a Spotify bug? There's massive potential in the Venu to make it a great watch and really make the most of that screen, but so far I'm pretty underwhelmed

Tottaly agree!

This could be 4.91, not 5.00.

On the other hand, Fenix 6 has several improvements. Garmin guys, VENU is an excellent watch. Please, do not forget these customers.

This morning the GPS+GLONASS did not state READY for the longest time, however, when I gave up and started my run regardless - there was GPS/GLONASS connectivity. Bug?

I agree. I'm old and need a little bit larger font size. It's to the point where I'm about to sell it & get another brand. My Vivoactive 3 is easier to read!

An update is an update, but I was hoping for something a bit more. haha

Great watch, keep up the support.
Thanks.

Same. It's something to see the same sensor package in the Venu get substantial upgrades on other devices while this one lags behind. Between Garmin's lack of updates and their venerability to hacks, I'm going to mark this as the first and last product of theirs I purchase. Lesson learned.

I'm betting this is the first and only Venu.

Well, the issue was really anoying, but New SW for only one fix? My last Garmin. Will buy Polar or go for new Samsung devices.

They are losing their customers because of the idiot marking strategy. it will be another Nokia after few years.

Why did updating delete one of my alarms? Almost didn't wake up in time for work.

Can you please unlock the unicode language support for Asian languages? For Christ's sake, it is year 2020, and Garmin is one and only company doing this nonsense.
