      It is exactly as @Дима-Мельниченко wrote.
      Look, I paid lot of money for super high-end sport watch mainly because of battery life and I spend lot of time in the sea just hanging out and I want for example check the temperature of the water, check the date, battery status etc…but I do not want to record any exercise.
      For me it is super important to have this feature and at the end of the day you can extend the battery time with it which should be for the Suunto best reason to enable it.

      So in the other words, you have super high-end watch BUT in the daily use mode (time mode) it can not gets wet until the screen automatically lock itself. Otherwise it will not work properly…🤦

      There are so many ways how it could be easy fixed:

      1. Holding “down” button for 3 seconds
      2. In shortcuts could be “Touch screen” Enabled/Disabled, same as “Do not disturb”
      3. etc…

        @vio112 yes that is understandable but the action is not…

        I have seen many users rating bad ie an app etc because 1 thing does not work for them thinking that this will make their wish come true etc.

        The only thing it does is to harm, garbaging a product because it does not have a lock button for when hanging out at the warm months of summer in the sea.

        Sure its a thing well requested here and discussed and I am sure it’s not a show stopper. You can actually measure the temp without looking the screen or unlocking the watch. You cannot anyways see the screen if it’s >0.5m depth so most probably this is done in some pond etc or shallow waters.

        With all my good intentions coming here in a community and after a lot of discussions saying

        • Look I also made a super bad and angry review because I can does not show empathy at least to the people discussing here and trying to help

          Yeah, for some people the world is black and white…

          Me myself have never pressed a button when taking a shower or going into the water.

          Anyway: Do you all know the cool feature of the S+ function “weather”, that it shows the temperature when submerged into the water? 👍

            This is absolutely not angry review. This is just my opinion.
            From my point of view it is big issue and I wrote at least two solutions how it could be easy fixed. So other users can vote for it and we will see, that’s all 🙂 I just do not understand the answer on my review and I asked other users how they understand it.

            BTW I work as a BI developer and I have lot of discussions with end users so I have a big empathy for them and main thing for me is their satisfaction so every time I help them and trying to find the best solution for them…

            …and as I wrote “I wrote at least two solutions how it could be easy fixed”.

              Of course I know, but you can not use it in time mode…or am I wrong? 🙂

                @vio112 I am not really following.

                You wrote 2 solutions ok. But in your review you say you most probably will return the product.

                I also think those solutions (ideas) are welcome and common.

                Anyways, enjoy or not your watch

                  @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 😆)

                  Very funny 😄😄😄

                    Due to all respect I do not want be offensive. I am very thankful for all of this answers and opinions.
                    I am just fighting with this issue because it is very important for me. On the one hand I have excellent product with GPS, Barometer, HR sensor and other cool features and on the other hand it is a big torture to use it in the water which predominate all features for me.
                    If this will be fixed I will immediately change my review to 5*.

                    And as I said I spend lot if time in water because I am freediver. For freediving I use Suunto D4i Novo watch, which is the best watch I have ever had but I do also other activities like swimming, cycling, hiking and so on …and I would like to use S9B in water as daily use (in time mode).

                    So I do not know if there is will in Suunto to enable this feature…if Suunto enable it I will use this watch in future because I am absolutely Suunto positive. Otherwise I will buy another brand which has this feature enabled.

                      Or you can keep the watch and buy a thermometer. It’s cheaper 😄

                          I think it’s reasonable that he asks for it… I’m crossing fingers we’ll have a lock, soon.

                          one star is a bit misleading for other users. in this case it’s like lock button is >80% weighting of all functions 🙈

                              actually it is even more… 24h a day and I can only lock it during activities that (depends on the season but normally) is around avg. less than 2h per day… 😁

                                Hello, I would like to kindly ask about your help 🙂 I would like to know if Suunto is going to add “Touch screen manually disabled/enabled” mode to this watch, or if they’re thinking about it or if this will never happened? Or how it works? Who should I ask to?

                                I have another example of this issue. Long story short - I can not properly use timer to measure breath hold of my buddy in pool or my wife in the sea…when I activate the watch in the water it goes crazy.

                                I am not offensive, I would like to just kindly ask how it works and who should I contact for it?

                                Thank you very much for each of your reply 🙂

                                  @vio112 As a workaround, maybe you can start an activity with a duration field. In activity mode you can disable touch.

                                  No idea if this feature in time mode ever comes to the watch

                                    it is cumbersome to use an activity as a stop watch… especially for apnoea divers and surfers who are training for big waves
