-You can not configure auto-lock separately for each activity. Either it is on during any workout, or always on, or in watch mode. In the gym, auto-lock is not needed, and during a run, when the clothes are put on damp, the screen is pressed by itself. Every time you have to crawl into the very jungle of device settings (system) and set up a lock.
-Stupid lock icon - padlock. If the watch is worn under a jacket during a workout and it is wet, then when you try to look at the data on the 2nd and 3rd date fields (4 are selected in total), pulling the sleeve off the watch, a LOCK appears that blocks the training readings (I have tempo and avg. pace). Like a fool, you run and look at him until this castle disappears, despite the fact that on the 2nd and 3rd fields, on the left and right, there is a rampart of space, they could have been placed there as well.
-For some reason, the heart rate cannot be displayed on the stock dials. At first I thought it was due to battery saving, but the heart rate widget displays the readings for the last 4 hours, which means that the clock measures it continuously. Yes, you can install third-party watch faces, but they are stupid and ask for all sorts of permissions. I only use Garmin apps.
- Glass of mediocre quality. People complain that there are scratches from somewhere. I immediately pasted the film (cut out on the one that was with the clock) and ordered a full-size protective glass.
-Support: as far as I remember, they say they answer in 24 hours :D. But it's kind of like spam. To the question: "I want to buy a VA3M, but I used to use a watch from another company for a long time! I need to transfer the data of all trainings" they answered: "send some file from your Garmin watch", although I have not bought it yet! In short, how to communicate with a tree. Although they helped later, I transferred all the workouts to Garmin connect.
- REGULARLY HOLD immediately after saving the workout, the workout itself is saved. Reboot helps, but time gets lost. Auto-tuning by GPS time - tired of freezing on the street. The clock itself seems to work, they understand whether I use it or not, but the screen hangs.
