Allow Sense 2 to display actual time during swim

Original sense had configurable exercise views. The swim lap counter allowed me to choose to see laps as I swim and even better buzzed me every 10(also configurable) so I didn't have to keep checking. Other apps allowed me to see the actual time not just how long I've been exercising so I can be on time for things afterwards. Sense 2 is regressing.
This is needed because:
I returned the sense 2 for an original sense. If that stops working despite being long term fibit devotee I am switching to garmin. Just want a decent and configurable fitness tracker. Is that really too much to ask from 'Fitbit'?
I'd use this: Daily

Completely agree wit your comment, I have been a Fitbit wearer for several years and  just "Upgraded" to a Sense 2. The swimming functionality has regressed.

All I want is a watch that counts my laps when swimming 4 times a week; very disappointing!

I've just spent £30 for a Smartwatch off Amazon, which has much better swimming  functionality.

I've just cancelled my Fitbit Premium account because of this and I'm very close to putting my Fitbit on E-Bay and moving to a Garmin.
