Sorry for the long post, but they are too many to have separate posts for each issue:
First the issues I noticed:
1. Turn on gesture doesn't work if you lift or lower your elbow more than 30ish degrees. This is not something I do often but when it happens it's really annoying and it's 100% of the tries. Like when you lie on your side or if you have your hand on the bike handle bars and you just rotate your wrist to trigger the gesture. It happens even if I sometimes raise my elbow so that the sleeve of my shirt pulls back so I can see the watch. But the watch does not turn on. Or simply my elbow is on a table and hand is higher.
2. Failing to start walk activity - it had GPS lock, but it wasn't doing anything when I pressed the start button. Though it was registering the presses as I was getting the heptic feedback. I restarted the watch and then it worked. I have tried for around 1 minute to start the activity.
3. After a long walk activity (8 hours with a few stop and resume later) saving the activity did not complete in 1 hour (it was continuously displaying the saving animation). Though after I interrupted this with the shortcut to return to the watch face, I discovered the activity had been saved.
4. Walk activity stopping by itself with nothing saved. The activity had been started, it was still working after a few minutes but after 30 minutes it was gone. I had to start it again. Nothing was saved.
5. Wrong date on a walk activity (it was registered on the previous day).
6. Low HR during a squash activity (it was constantly below 120 though I was really closer to 180).
7. Walk activity dissapearing from the pinned activities by itself (had to pin it again).
8. Some nap detection improvements. Fell asleep on a plane for 1 hour and it didn't register anything.
9. Sometimes the watch sees a call too late, with a few seconds delay. I think this could be improved by changing the frequency the watch connects to the phone, but I'd like to be able to change this and set it to my preference (more responsive or more battery).
10. I cannot disable sleep mode until the sleep schedule is over. I disable it and then shortly it comes back, even though I am active.
Improvements I would like to see:
11. Steps in the squash or tennis activity (why can I not have this?) - it would be nice to see how much I moved. I would like to see even the number of swings if they can be detected as even my left hand moves when I swing the racket. Or require to move the watch to the racket hand, I wouldn't mind.
12. Missing Vo2 max on glances (I cannot find it anywhere, only place I can see it is on some watchfaces).
13. Why can I not have AOD during sleep? It's grayed out and I cannot change it from disabled. The same for Gesture mode.
14. I'd really appreciate AOD mode with sleeve detection to turn off the screen. It would use the proximity sensor to detect it's covered or the light sensor to detect no light between sunrise and sunset. This would save significant battery with AOD when it's most needed (during ski sessions, when walking outside and under a jacket).
15. Is there a light sensor for automatic brightness ? I don't see evidence of it.
16. Shortcut for AOD (I'd like to be able to switch it on and off with a combination of buttons).
17. Set AOD on each activity separately, not just on all activities with the activity focus mode. I have different preferences for each activity. eg. Swimming, running, squash are AOD, but walking can easily be gesture mode.
18. I don't like that most of the watch faces use one central field to display FENIX. I would really like to use that for something else.
19. Default tone/vibration settings for the timers. You can change that for each timer, but creating a new one always starts with tone & vibration.
20. Add scooter activity (kick scooter, not the electric one) - and maybe even count the kicks.
21. Possibility of adding moon phase/moonrise/moonset on watch faces.
22. See current timezone on a glance. I'd like to be able to see if I am on a +1 timezone or +2.
23. More and better watchfaces (like many others have complained).
24. Watchfaces that have a custom turned off face, which can be optimized or changed for battery life. For example offer some simple analog watchfaces with thin lines. Those can be really low on battery (as AMOLED only powers those pixels). They can be completely different faces when they are turned off, like digital with a lot of info when on and simple and thin analog when off.
25. Dismiss all button for notifications should also close the notifications list instead of displaying the 'no notifications' and having to close that with another button.
26. See all contacts from the phone, not just the ones added in Connect app.
27. Trigger camera of the attached phone.
28. Wrist detection to stop notifications when the watch is not at the wrist. It's annoying that it vibrates on the table when it gets notifications.
