Great watch but miss Garmin Pay

Excellent quality. Replacing my Venu 2 Pro. Love the display. Battery life is much better than my old Venu 2. Biggest problem is that Garmin Pay is no longer compatible with either of my banks. It was a great feature on the watch as a contactless payment method. Probably will be moving away from Garmin if they continue to not support my banking in the future.
After pairing, everything adds perfectly. I love the challenges that are provided. Being able to customize your own watch face is also a great feature.
The phone calls switched to the watch by it self. And if someone call you, you cant stop the watch from vibrating you have to answer or reject the call. So bad experience
I've had this watch for about a month now. I previously was running a vivoactive 3 until it got to the point it wouldn't hold a charge the entire day. When I upgraded I wanted similar features and the venu3 had the integrated speaker so I went with that. Expectations wise it's been great from a a user standpoint and is responsive. Unfortunately from just everyday use it turns out the metal is just painted rather than dyed so it scuffs easily and I can see by the end of the year my black metal watch turning silver from simple usage. And for the record I have a desk job so it's not like I'm taking it into a construction site.
Excellent Smart Watch with everything I wanted and needed. I have been a Garmin fan for many years now, this is my fourth Garmin watch and have yet to be disappointed!
I am particularly happy with the ECG App and it's features, which is my primary reason for upgrading now from the Vivoactive 4.
