Custom battery mode + and pause button when seeing maps

Vemee

Hi,

I have two questions.

I can see in many threads in the forum about creating a custom battery mode. How is this done? I can not find it in the manual or when going through the watch.
During an activity when the map-screen is active (navigation) I am not able to pause the activity with the top button as on other screens during a workout. Why is this? The top button is not used for anything else. The time one uses the navigation/map is when in unknown locations. If you are in an unknown city there might be some traffic lights which you need to stop by, and you simultaneously want the map page on, it is a bit annoying.

Any help is much appreciated

custom battery modes only exist in MIP display watches S9PP and Suunto Vertical. Race does not have it
The users here do not not know the reasoning behind certain design decisions. We can only speculate. It won’t help anyway. You are not the first with this idea and it has been forwarded to Suunto devs already.

Cheers!

I’m not really know what you mean exactly. On my race s, I can specify the battery setting per activity and it remembers that setting. So for running you can specify best accuracy and for hiking longest battery life. Just have to specify it once per activity.
