Always-On Display for Inspire series

[PietjePuk]

My wife is a yoga and Pilates instructor. I bought her the Inspire HR to use when she's teaching, only to find out that the screen turns off after a few seconds, even in timer and stopwatch mode.

This makes the Inspire useless for what I bought it for.

Please add this feature!

The same question for the basic time display on the home screen. There should be an always on function, like any smartwatch has these days. But I saw many other people already requested this.

I’d like to be able to choose to keep the screen on.
When running today the screen kept turning off while I’m scrolling through the stats trying to get information.
This is a must. I use this for exercise but it’s hard to use as is.

Inspire 2 needs an always on clock face. I wear my watch on the inside of my wrist so the raise to wake feature is unpredictable at best.

Currently this product turns off display after only three seconds when I lift my wrist, but I would like to it to stay on longer. Barely enough time to see the time.

Please at least allow it to stay on indefinitely, even if it means my battery will drain faster.

It would be great to glance at the watch and not have to use another hand to press button or jerk watch towards me to trigger it on 🙂

It would be great to have an always on option in the Inspire 2. This way when one is exercising one can see the stats all the time, without having to tap or move the wrist.

There should be an option that there is a possibility to turn on time always on in inspire 2

From what I can gather, certain Fitbit models support longer and always-on displays. Why not Inspire 2? It still only stays on for a measly three seconds, which is a little too short, I feel. Sometimes I want to watch my heart rate fluctuate for longer than three seconds...and sometimes I just want to watch the seconds tick by on the clock.
