      @vio112 no, there is no lock outside activity. It is requested often, but not there 😞

          @vio112 the only thing I can say is that you may have to press your buttons less to have backlight in the future. It may help in not unlocking your watch too.

            if accidentally push button in shower, touch screen activate and water drops are like finger touches so it starts scrolling up/down, selecting exercise and turning on/off my backlit. So this is very annoying!

            Amen.

            Exactly this. Nothing more, nothing less

              @surfboomerang why do you shower with the watch in the first place?

                  @surfboomerang ok, I see. I actually had no problems in the rain. If I feel like screen is covered too much, I just run my watch on the jacket and it’s fine again.

                        @vio112 ok, I see. Btw I’m not sure shower gels, shampoo etc ist good for the watch in the long run.

                          I think chlorine is worse… and it only has to last until the release of S9P+ titanium bezel special edition 😂 😂

                            I have also Suunto D4i Novo and use them as daily watches also in shower for 6 years and have no problem… just hope they add the possibility to manually lock touch screen because I do lot of water sports and it is BIG shame for Suunto that you buy high-end smart sport watches water resistant to 100m and you can not use them properly in water (also in shower or during raining weather). It is like you buy high-end smartphone without lock button, it is absolutely annoying and no go zone for me. I am thinking of to return this S9B black and buy another brand - it is a huge disappointment from Suunto.

                              So I wrote review for this watch:

                              Screenshot_20210608-050858.png

                              And I get answer from them:

                              Screenshot_20210608-050940.png

                              Could somebody explain me what does it mean please?

                                @vio112 it means that you can deactivate the touch screen (and unintentional button presses) while recording an activity. Actually touch is off by default and has to be enabled in the settings if you would like to use it.

                                Just as you found you cannot do so in time mode.

                                  @vio112 So, create a custom Shower sport mode 😆 Not only you will be able to lock the watch, but you’ll get valuable metrics 😄 Statistics like how much time you spend in the shower every month, if it was a relaxing shower (how much did your HR decrease)… You can even set an autolap like every three minutes to remind you that you should stop wasting water or at least start singing a new song 😆 (Sorry for this 😆)

                                  SV: fingers crossed :D
                                  S9 (non-baro): died after 2 months, replaced, holding strong since 03/20
                                  Spartan Trainer: casing broke after 23 months, repaired, lost watertightness 5 months later, died
                                  Despite some pretty bad luck, I still love Suunto!

                                    You S$% on the review because there is one thing missing?

                                          Was this review helpfull ? No. Apparently there are people that know how to review a product.

                                            @dimitrios-kanellopoulos well, that depends. For me the absence of the locking function is not important at all.
                                            But picture this: you love your watch and find it to be the best thing that ever happend to you. But you have use cases where you constantly press the button which wakes up the watch and it starts to go bananas. First you try to modify your use cases, try asking for the feature, etc - but nothing helps. Now wearing this watch you swore by is turned into a torture.
                                            Maybe a little exagurated, but you get the point XD
