Vivoactive6 simulator: menu key not working

In the simulator for the new Vivoactive6, the menu key (m) is not working.

Also the image only shows a black and white scheme of the watch, but maybe that's intended?

    Of course, this isn’t a universal rule. For example, on my Epix 2 Pro, some native apps show an indicator for onMenu in the left-center, which in my opinion still interferes less with my two-dimensional navigation model than the approach of the Vivoactive 6.

    "some native apps show an indicator for onMenu in the left-center" - Yes and no.

    When there's a menu hint in the left-center, the user can open a menu by short-pressing the UP. I would argue that this is not the same as "onMenu" / universal menu gesture (hold UP) because in some cases, holding UP opens a *different* menu.

    Here's a couple of examples on fr955 where's there's a left-center menu hint, and short-pressing UP does something different than long-pressing UP. (I think other watches like fr965, fenix 7, etc. are similar)

    - spotify / other music providers - music player screen:

    If I short-press UP, I get a radial menu with additional player controls (and a button to go the library). If I long-press UP, I get a completely different menu (settings menu)

    - activity start page (before timer is started):

    Short pressing UP gives me a "short" menu with *only* activity-related items. Long pressing UP gives me a "long" menu with the activity-related items followed by general watch settings.

    (To be clear I think this kind of thing really sucks)

    You're right - I got that mixed up. The indicator I mentioned actually corresponds to a single short press of the UP button, not the long press that triggers onMenu.
