Also, I’d like to have an option to permanently disable touch outside of activity and have it available only for map panning

I always set my Garmins that way. Would love this on the Race S as well…

@2b2bff I wanted to say that in the shower the watch almost always enters the widgets part of the UI because droplets tend to swipe the screen from the bottom to the top because of how the watch is positioned on the hand. Occasionally droplets swipe from the right to the left to enter the control panel.
It is rare for droplets to swipe the screen in other directions. A decent solution would be to introduce an optional touch auto-lock with the gesture to unlock it that requires to swipe the screen from top to bottom. That is the direction that is unlikely to happen naturally in rain or shower - you’d have to tilt the watch unnaturally.

That’s what Garmin has done and that works effectively! I’d really like such touch auto-lock feature! Buttons should continue to work even when the touch is locked.

Connection with Concept2 Rowing Account or Maschine would be great.

@sky-runner no, I don’t like this. I rather have touch disabled completely and only enabled, when needed. Like in the maps. And Garmin has a button combination to disable/enable touch on the fly. But Suunto has not too many buttons…

@Brad_Olwin I look forward to a watch face design for people without eagle sharp sight.

I am older and have no issues with the choices of watch faces. I wear glasses but can read the watch faces without them. There are several to choose from that have fewer complications.
