Feature Request: Display time in navigation swipe up screen

DMytro

@saka79 if you’re not using navigation per se, but navigating inside a sports mode like hiking, time is displayed at every screen other than nav screen itself.

@saka79 btw “feature suggestion” section of the forum is used for suggestion of SA features.

@дима-мельниченко Thank for your reply, I’m talking about navigation outside of any sport mode.

@дима-мельниченко Sorry, I didn’t noticed this. I’ve copied this post to the s9 thread.

@saka79 Are you using Navigation in an activity? if so you can create custom sport modes to see time of day. If you are just using navigation you could set up a sport mode so you can see the time of day.

Quick question, does the double tap, using single finger, work in Navigation mode on the S9?

I use this on my Spartan Ultra frequently to check Time of Day and Battery.

@brad_olwin Hi Brad, no I’m using the navigation mode as is. I use this mode while hiking (and not registering tracks, as I need all the battery life I can get during long multi day hikes).
Previously I used the ambit 3 for long hiking trips and this watch had the option to push the middle button to switch between the watch display and navigation display. This way you could quickly check the time and move on.

@bradleyd No double tap is supported on the s9. Just a single tap to switch to the overview map and back.

@brad_olwin Ok, I’ll try that. I still think it would be a nice feature to display the time in the swipe up screen :). Thanks for your suggestion.

You will get longer battery life if you use an extended battery mode. Navigation/GPS is the primary battery hog, there should be no difference using Navigation with or without a sport mode. Your max battery without HR should be ~30h in Performance mode, in Endurance mode ~50h if you are not on the Navigation screen where you will default to Performance mode. What you are doing is unlikely to improve battery life.
