"Heart Touch"

Hi All,

Does anyone know if Garmin plans to implement "Heart Touch" (marking autolap while bringing your watch closer to chest strap) to our 945? It would be very useful.

    Does any Garmin product have this? I can see as many disadvantages as advantages. Who'd want to mark a lap just because you are scratching your nose with the wrong hand or something like that?

    It's a Polar feature and works very well because you really have to bring your watch up directly to the HR sensor on the chest strap for about a second or so. Never had issues with it but it was configurable and I used it to get the display light on because I did not want to mess with buttons during my exercise. If you ever had get used to it, you'll miss it.

    If you used that gesture for the light, doesn’t the Garmin “wrist gesture” work even better than that? Granted you have to do it just right.

    The fact that you said “had to get used to” the heart gesture says something.....

    I have to agree that I’d never want to mark a manual lap using a gesture, because it sounds unreliable and slow. I use manual lap for interval workouts tho, so maybe to just me.
