Garmin added this to their watches. And it couldn’t be turned off. Super irritating if you listen yo music.
That was the final push for me to sell a one year old forerunner 965 and buy a suunto race s.Fully agree, especially that some of the voice notifications couldn’t not be turned off. And I’m general I cannot comprehend why people may want their watch to speak notifications to them when they can simply look at it at any moment.

I would like to able to access the led torch during an activity with just one button push, not relying on menus. Sometimes when I run in the dark there are short unlit sections where this would be a useful feature instead of having to rely on carrying a headtorch as well.
-
I really would like to use the “navigate now on watch”-function multiple times during an activity.
Most underrated function on Suunto, I think.
Is there even another brand that do that?

@Horizontal_2 it would be great if its possible to make the routes offline on the App . Actially you need Internet to create a Route like navigation on watch.

This would be great, but what button would you use? All buttons are already used - both short and long presses are already mapped to other functions. Having only 3 buttons is the limiting factor.

@sky-runner Suunto could make a “flashlight” page. You should be able to add this page as a screen (or page, not sure how it’s called) during any activity. During the activity swipe to this screen and there would be a button to turn the flashlight on or off. Even some gesture to brightness could be there. Tap to turn on and off. Swipe up or down for brightness.
-
I’m not sure, I’d hoped that perhaps a long button push would be possible to implement through the firmware to make more use of the 3 buttons. Or a long touch on the watchface?

Cannot rely on touch. That is no go for an outdoor watch. That would be useless in a rain or even when wearing a long sleeve shirt when the sleeve covers the watch. When I wear a long sleeve shirt I pretty much cannot leave my watch on the map screen because my shirt sleeve starts panning the map all the time.
The best solution I can think of is double tap on the lap button. Implementation of the double tap can be a bit tricky because the first tap would have to be ignored and not trigger a lap, but it could be done. Another possible solution is combination of two buttons where the second button is pressed before the first button is released.
Garmin does actually have that for some of the button shortcuts and that works reasonably well, but buttons should be on the opposing sides of the case for that to be usable. -
On/off toggle for nap detection
