    Getting really tired of the number of updates. Had a Forerunner 235 and it have worked for 2 years straight. Now the latest update fixes the latest problems on my Venu, but comes with new problems. Two times it even resetted the entire device! Once it works, I'm gonna turn of the updates.

    Hmmm. Ack. I have sold the FR235 for Venu. Worst deccision ever. Sleept stats, this incedible inaccurate Sony GPS and so on and so on. Garmin dosent mak a good job since a while but like to have a lot of money

    Battery drops extremely fast - 3 days is max. I noticed that even one simple workout (15 minutes pilates, no GPS, no music) and battery goes down as it was GPS on all the time.

    After 1hr running with GPS and music - battery dropped from 50% to 15%.

    Ridiculous. Before 4.40 it was OK - I have changed neither my routines nor workouts since the update... I am going to return this piece of junk... Chinese smartwatches offer a far better experience and battery life!! Shame on you Garmin.

    Maybe try wiping/re-setting up your Venu? I’m having zero issues on the latest firmware, especially with battery life. I get a solid 5+ days on it, with PulseOx set to nighttime only, screen set to medium timeout, heart rate all the time, and brightness low. 
    I’m getting that life while going for a 1mile GPS-tracked workout every day, plus about a 30 minute indoor cardio or strength workout. 
    Only time I’ve gotten 3-day battery life is with Always On Display and 24-hour PulseOx both turned on.

    Thank you for the hint - I've just performed wiping of all the data from Venu.

    There are two issues here: it should not be required to erase all the data (including GarinPay, music etc. etc.) just because of FW update. The process of adding the watch again to the account is painful every time.

    The second issue I see is that now I can't configure GarminPay wallet from the Connect app... I see list of my cards previously configured for Venu and now am not able to add them again or remove...

    This is definitely the worst and frustrating experience I've ever had with Garmin products.

    UPDATE: clearing cache of the Connect App solved the issue with Garmin Pay cards.
