Sleep mode - awful - stop with automatic

I never had this issue on my F6Pro.

With the Epix2, the sleep mode is AUTOMATIC - this is awful. I do NOT want it to automatically come on and go off. I only want to manually trigger it. There is NO way to do it.

Please please fix this - give us the option of the schedule or not - I don't want that to automatically adjust.

Yes. Please make it possible to disable this!

Agreed! I work a rotating schedule so it randomly deciding i'm sleeping AND not being able to disable the schedule is ridiculous on a $900 watch.

Also, I'm having to disable sleep mode 5-10 times PER NIGHT, so saying 'just disable it, it's two clicks' is silly.

Are you sure that it's not scheduled?

You can schedule the sleep mode (start and end) for each day in the menu. You can also turn on and off sleep mode with two clicks in the watch.

I have not heard of an AUTOMATIC sleep mode, there is only AUTOMATIC sleep tracking, as it was with F6Pro.

Here's a link to the epix Owner's Manual on how to schedule the Sleep Mode:

Sleep Mode Customization

You can also add Sleep Mode to the Control options (long press of Light button) so that you can enable/disable Sleep Mode any time you desire.

I'm not sure if you can disable the "automatic" enable, but I'm sure you can change it to be a VERY short time, say 1 minute at 3AM so you never see it. There is a way to manually enable and disable sleep mode. If you press and hold the "Light" button to bring up the menu, there are system options including turning power on/off and sleep mode on/off manually

It's very ugly features! I should 2-3 times per day disable Sleep Mode.

Cool. except I work on a rotating schedule and the watch decides that I'm sleeping 10 times a night so I have to constantly fight it.

was auto with the F6Pro - they have just changed the wording. Only difference is the F7 series gives greater sleep schedule flexbility than we got on the f6 series. of course the algorithms may be different too - not sure if F6 ones are same as F7 despite (but would hope they were).
