Disable the touchscreen - it’s unbearable, all the settings change in the shower or during heavy rain. I wonder if the engineers even test their tools.
I don’t remember a single case of anything like that with a Garmin watch. I wonder why people think that Suunto watches are buggy. This may be one of the reasons. People may not connect being in a shower with this happening.
I do. The shower accidentally turned off the alarm on my garmin forerunner 965. Twice!! And you are right, it took some time for me to realize it was the shower.
On my suunto race s, I can configure that raise to wake only shows the time but does not enable the touchscreen. For me, it’s brilliant. Most of the times I don’t need to know additional info of complications.
Yes, suunto has it’s bugs and annoyances but for me, not nearly as many as my previous garmin.
An other thing you are right about is that suunto is missing basic configuration options, like disabling touch, or only touch in maps. (And there are dozens more, like setting alarms for certain days, or have vibrating alerts in watchmode and beeps and vibrating in sport mode) Unfortunately, suunto is more working on useless features, like track mode (and I train weekly on a track at my athletics club) but they have to. For marketing purposes they have to match the feature list of garmin. And people who look for a watch think things like trackmode is more useful than disabling the touchscreen. They just look at feature quantity.
