There is still an issue of water interacting with the touch screen. What I can't understand is why Fitbit implemented touch screen lock for Swim activity and didn't do such thing for the whole system so the screen can be locked any time. I bring that up as recently I found out that my Ionic managed to start a workout in the Coach app just by taps received due to contact with the water. Not sure, maybe that's some sort of secret AI running inside the FitbitOS 😉
There are already feature suggestions. I voted for whatever I could ( so don't send me to Feature Suggestion forum ) but this is just really lazy design if the watch can perform random actions like this. Even the lock during Swim is not always a solution. For swimming in the open water or pool but where I don't care about lengths etc. I just use either Workout or Interval Workout with GPS so at least I can record HR and then again - water randomly pauses the exercise, one time it finished it ( I have seen "Done" screen ). It's ridiculous not to have screen/touch lock feature knowing how severely the water affects the watch behaviour.
I don't want to read again how Fitbit is striving to improve this and that. I want to start seeing the evidence of that. Start putting the money where your mouth is.

Thanks for stopping by @SunsetRunner. I appreciate the screenshot and details mentioned.
Your feedback is appreciated, Fitbit is always working to improve its watches/trackers based in your comments.
As you mentioned, you already voted for the Feature Suggestions that you found and those that request what you would like to see implemented in the watches or app. The status of those ideas will changed based in Fitbit's plans.
Rest assure that any features that are implemented will be posted in the Community or in the Fitbit Blog.
I'll be around if you need further assistance.
