V19.18: Fix persistent notification vibration for incoming calls; No Thanks

I liked the persistent vibration. It meant I never missed a phone call. I presume there is no option to keep a function that existed since I bought the watch 2 years ago.

All,

I am very sorry to those who are disappointed with how we addressed this concern. The number of vibrations has been extended, but unfortunately we cannot please everyone's desire on how long the vibrations…

Dear Sierra!

I think the best solution would be for everyone to be able to choose whether they prefer a short vibration or a continuous vibration.

It definitely has changed as I just tried it. It will vibrate twice and then stops vibrating. It's defo a step backwards.

Hi Sierra, I preferred the previous way and I would like it to go back, or at least the option. Please add me to the feedback report.

Thanks

Me too.

I hope there will be an optional to choice between persistent vibration and sport.

I liked the first one, sorry.

I also wonder if you can set the vibration for incoming calls and notifications (missed calls) in the swimming activity in the pool. Currently this function does not exist in garmin device.

They would be very useful for those who are swimming but must remain available at work with their phone on the pool wall.

Not , because in our universe bluetooth does not propagate in water.

You have my permission to add another vote for 'continual vibrations' - even though I'm on a FR955.

Hello,

not even the GPS can be propagated under water... Yet the open water swimming function exists. It is sufficient that the hand is above the water and at a distance of 10-15 meters from the phone... Have you ever wondered if the other brands have this limitation? also when I'm stationary why do I have to turn on the phone to see if there is a missed call, when a simple vibration can tell me?
