I've been thinking about picking up a VA4 to replace my Pebble Time, but I've just been informed that the lock screen on these is very annoying to the point of uselessness and, apparently there are no settings to change the functionality. I've seen several people on the forums complain about it and, though there have been a few replies from Garmin staff, none have commented on the actual problem. It really seems pretty obvious that a locked watch screen should NOT have a giant lock symbol covering the screen when you want to look at it in the dark and the long-press-to-unlock seems like a stupid function for buttons that are unlikely to be pressed accidentally. It seems like this should be a really simple firmware fix and there's already been several firmware updates without this being fixed so it makes me wonder if Garmin even cares, suggesting I should avoid their products.
