Dear Garmin,
as asked in dozens of threads in the forum and from several users elsewhere, a missing very basic feature is the ability to extend vibration (and sound) on incoming call as long as the mobile phone ring.
Since also dedicated sport-watch (e.g., Forerunner or Fenix series) are being used more and more often in daily life, not just in training sessions, this means the possibility to handle phone calling in a decent way for devices that claim to be smart.
You can read many posts of people complaining about this. So why not giving the people the possibility to choose the behavior of their watches in such situation?
What we ask through this petition is a firmware update for supported Garmin watches in order to implement this feature.
This petition is started by simple Garmin enthusiasts, with the only purpose to improve the usability of their watches.
Best regards.
Paolo Mozzati.
To the people who will join the petition, I ask to write the model of the watch they are signing for. Thanks.

Really need to be able to adjust the length of vibration for phone calls. Right now you can not distinguish from phone call or notification. If you are busy you can't look at your watch every time it vibrates. But a longer vibration for calls would let the wearer know that they are receiving a phone call and not just another notification.
Please add a way to configure notification tone for incoming calls - they are indistinguishible from regular, generally-not-urgent, notifications!
I really need my watch to vibrate more than twice during an incoming call. I have a deep sleep and still want to be awaken if a call happens in the middle of the night. Thank you.
Please.. This would be greatly appreciated, since it can prevent waking my SO while on call during the night. model: Fenix 7
I’ve just purchased Fenix 6 which I’m returning because of this, it’s meant to be a high end watch yet I will be constantly missing calls.
please. allow us to extend the vibration time on calls to wake up at night!!!
Please make my Garmin buzz continually on incoming phone calls!!

On my old Garmin, I never misses a phonecall since my clock vibrated continously during an incomming call. With my new Epix I miss almost all calls because it gives 2 quick short vibrations and stops vibrating. I more often notice the 'missed call' notification. This is a serious downgrade
