@Egika I don’t mean that the watch should be the main light source during night sessions
But in real emergency situations — which can happen for countless reasons — a shortcut can be very handy.
Same for everyday training: when an evening workout runs longer than expected and you end up in the dark without a headlamp, or when passing through forest underpasses (where I live they aren’t lit).
Restoring the last used mode is also useful.
However, my top priority would be a simple “on/off” shortcut.
One more point for the other messages in the thread: it makes no sense to keep comparing Garmin and Suunto.
Suunto is a top-tier device that costs half of the Garmin models it’s often compared to. It has its own identity and features. At the price of the Vertical 2 Titanium, you’d get a plasticky Garmin that’s worth half of what it costs.
