Any chance non-tactical series watches can get a stealth mode option?

I can see benefits to adding the stealth mode option to other watches.

Not everyone needs the full on suite of options featured in Tactix watches. But deployers still utilize watches such as Fenix, Enduro, and epix and would be able to still utilize workout features while deployed.

There are also individuals who for safety reasons (like domestic violence or stalking situations) may still like to utilize things like Strava but not want their specific workout locations to load.

Any chance these other watches could see stealth mode in the future?

Doubtful, but you can still accomplish the same goals using the various settings in the watch, Connect, and Strava.

Those who are deployed and need to disable RF transmitting and GPS recording in their watch can do so via Airplane Mode and by turning off GPS in the settings.

Those with concerns about stalkers can (and should) simply update their privacy settings in Connect and Strava.

However, this is not the same as the stealth mode. In Stealth mode, the GPS can still be used.

In addition, the end point will be hidden if you complete an activity inside this zone. You will always be able to view the full route, while others will only see the middle part of the route.

And I believe Strava also has a similar setting as well
