Forerunner 265 stopwatch touch screen does not work in 21.19

I can not control the stopwatch using touch screen after software update 21.19. I can only use the buttons to start/stop/reset it. Touch screen does work in the timer.

Can you change it back? Maybe even add a setting for it? I am using it amost daily and found it was easier to use the touch screen in some cases.

You might want to try if this issue does also happen on your device.

It does occur on my device, just not immediately after a reboot, but after some hours it does.

I am pretty surprised that 21.19 was releasd that way.

Touch > During Activity | Touch Off setting is not respected anymore, touch screen off behaviour after selecting activity is f'd up

3173131- This was an intentional change. You now must use the buttons on the Stopwatch and Timer screen to start, stop, and reset the time. I'm sorry for any disappointment regarding this change!

Yeah, I have the same problem.
When start activity (running for instance) and try to see Daily Suggested Workouts - touch doesn't work anymore.
Please fix that.

Yeah ! I'm also facing the same issue. Couldn't able to access the stopwatch with touch screen.

I want mine changed back. I bought this watch because it had a touch screen stopwatch. I would not have bought it if I knew this update would happen

Why was this done intentionally. I bought this watch because it had a touchscreen stopwatch. If I knew this change was coming I would have bought a different product. Highly disappointed

How can this be changed back. Having a touch screen stopwatch was the primary reason I chose this watch
