      @PBord no you can’t switch to watch mode but the time is visible on every activity screen except map and climb guide if I remember correctly.

        I am also new to Suunto I love the Home Screen and have been struggling when recording an activity to see the time, silly you can’t scroll to the watch face but there is a page to control your music which I will never use, would be good if the page was customisable.
        I see the time is on the info page that gives you your heart rate distance and time taken but I need my glasses to see it as it is so small. Even worse when the screen is wet.Its a bit rubbish really. I would like to keep an eye on the time when heading to find a camp.

          @leehikes It uses up a SuuntoPlus slot but “Big numbers” does what it says for time of day.

            You can deactivate music control and can create a customized sportmode with all your needs, including the current time (in bigger font).

              @Fenr1r I see the Suunto plus menu but there is no big numbers option? So a little unsure what you mean? Sorry for being a bit thick

                @leehikes Have you installed the “Big numbers” SuuntoPlus app via the Suunto App watch configuration page?

                  @leehikes said in Watch mode during activity recording:

                  You can disable Music controls if you don’t use it. For bigger time, customize your sport mode and add/use Time of day as one of the data fields on any of the data pages. In case you don’t want to waste S+ slot for Big numbers S+ app, or don’t want to have one more additional S+ page.

                        ?? Not sure what I am saying yes to, but thought a visual of that app would be easier to identify than creating new sport profiles, I like it better than Garmin, They do not have the activity time and HR in the time.

                          You weren’t saying “Yes” there in my reply. I was, in acknowledgment that you were showing the app I had suggested initially but not understanding (“?”) why you were directing the post at me. I didn’t suggest the sport profile. Perhaps @leehikes was your intended recipient?
