Display flipping for right hand

[renton82]

I saw that isn’t possible to flip display in order to use with right hand, i feel i little bit uncomfortable to use crown if the watch is on my right hand. What are your thoughts?

@renton82
i would say, not only for the race. Watches are, by design, with the buttons on a certain side. And according to everyone’s particularities, it could be really nice to have this feature (for any kind of good reasons).

afair there is something about this in one of the last surveys

I’m noticing that if i wake up display by gesture, the crown continue to rotate with movements between wrist and t-shirt sleeve, the result is that display continues to stay on and continues to cycle between widget and activity, this is very bad, i can’t wear it on my right hand (at least during winter).

@renton82 you can set it to wake only to the energy saving screen. Then controls will stay locked until you push a button.

@Egika Yes, but i would have preferred to have the option to flip display also because is a bit uncomfortable to use the crown in this position.

@renton82 right.
I understand this personal preference. Have used Race on my right wrist for testing and found it quite comfortable to operate the dial with my left thumb like this:

@Egika Yes, without clothing is not a problem…

@surfboomerang no promise from Suunto this will end up in production firmware, as it is not in the “leaked” spec sheet from reviewers.

Getting an upvote from me - I put this suggestion in the wrong place, but clearly us left-handed-users would like more useability.

I’ve a Peak currently (waiting on a new Peak Pro to be delivered) and find the buttons fiddly on my right arm at this time of year, when I have to wear long sleeves
