Always on during activity
-
Hello.
Would anyone explain to me how to turn on the screen all the time during an activity? I can’t find the parameter combination that keeps the screen from turning off a little bit while I’m running. -
@Jonathan-Dupré Did you try the manual? https://us.suunto.com/pages/suunto-run-user-guide#topic_YBJOqlLJnUy3HZG2IQyMnQ. Search DISPLAY.

Two ways:
- Long-press the crown -> Settings -> Display -> Always-on Display
- Go to Widgets -> Control Panel -> Always-on Display
Note: During an activity, you must first exit the activity (not stop it). Long-pressing the bottom button takes you to the watch face. Once the setting is complete, pressing the crown returns you to the activity.
Unfortunately, this option isn’t available in the activity’s Sports Settings. It’s better to set it beforehand.

@Yves_
Am I correct that you cannot set the Display to be always on only in Activities? It must be set only for the Watch as a whole?
Thanks, Andy -

For my Suunto Run, it’s the same setting for activities and daily use.

Hallo,
i have the same issue with NO display always on during an activity.
If i put the watch just on the table the display switches off > simple test.For my understandig, the manuals will not explain an ALWAYS ON display:
3.2. Display settings
In the display menu, you can adjust the following features: the level of brightness
(Brightness), whether the INACTIVE display shows any information (Always-on display)and:
The Always-on display setting determines if the INACTIVE display is blank or shows
information, for example, the time.Am i right? Hopefully not

I need an always on display, because i use the watch for indoor bycyle training mounting it at the handlebar without using the optical HR sensor > heartrate belt.
Thanx
