Add customizable button shortcuts on Charge 6

The Versa 4 allows a long press / press and hold functionality using the side button
Would be great if the Charge 6 could allow this
It would be great to activate the water lock?
Press and hold side button for 3 seconds to activate / deactivate water lock.

Moderator edit: Clarified subject
This is needed because:
This is really cumbersome right now especially if the screen is already wet – scrolling down a wet screen to get to the water lock feature isn’t a good procedure. Also the double tap is an aggressive action and feels like its going to break the watch Maybe as above you could use the side button to deactivate also.
I'd use this: Daily

I agree let us please customize it. I would love to be able to start a timer by pressing the button twice instead of opening the google wallet which I never use.

It would be very useful to me to have the side button activate a shortcut to change the screen on mode from automatic to manual. I would use this every night when I go to bed to prevent the screen from coming on when I move and shining in my face or my partner's face.

UPDATE: In my previous post I suggested adding a button shortcut to toggle the screen wake from auto to manual for use before bed. However, I have since realized there is an option on the watch in the screen section of the settings to set a bed mode schedule that automatically does this, which is even better than a manual shortcut option.

Long button press to activate Water Lock please. The amount of runs/rides and various settings changes I have done in the shower is ridiculous. As mentioned already, once wet, touch screen is impossible to use. Button is there, so please make it more functional. 🥺

I use double tap to launch pay but ability to customise it for others would be appreciated.
