New Forerunner 610 owner. Like the watch. However, it goes into Power Save mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. This is a major problem when a race is about to start or, if during a training run you stop for whatever reason for more than 5 minutes.
Feature request: Add an easy to find option that either disables the Power Save mode temporarily or extends the time before going into Power Save mode.
With Power Save occurring after 5 minutes, if you don't notice, you could get to the start line of a race and the watch will not be ready to access satellites or record time/distance. Some major marathons are so large that it can take more than 5 minutes after the gun to actually get to the start line. During this time the watch can slip into Power Save...very bad!
There is a feature called Ready to Run (in Training setup) that only seems to tell the watch to search for satellites. Perhaps this feature can be changed to tell the watch to disable Power Save mode until the watch is reset for a future run.
This is a major flaw in the software design of this watch.
