Hi,
Whenever a notification is received in the FR945 (I assume that it's the same for other models that support the privacy feature), the first screen that is shown is the "privacy" mode screen in which only the name of the notification sender and the app from which the notification is received are displayed (I'll call it pre-notification screen).
When privacy==true (doesn't matter in which mode), this screen stays until a gesture or a key press happens. When privacy==false a few hundreds of millis after the privacy screen is shown, the full message is displayed.
Personally I find this annoying. I didn't choose the privacy mode and whenever I receive a message my watch vibrates, I look at the watch and I want to see the message, not the pre-message screen. Since this is impossible I need to leave my eyes for a few hundreds of millis more and wait for the message.
I'm using the notification feature a lot. It's the number one tool for me to optimize my time and quickly understand what is important and what is not. I just upgraded from FR935 (in which this feature didn't exist and notifications were shown immediately) to the FR945 (which is an awesome device!) and I find that due to this un-necessary feature (again, privacy==false) I spend more time waiting for the actual content than what I used to.
I believe that changing this behavior is not a big deal (probably two/three ways of solving this - 1. not showing the pre-notification screen when privacy==false. 2. adding another flag that if privacy==false the user can choose if they want to see the pre-notification screen or no. 3. changing the privacy==false option to false-with-pre-screen and false-without-pre-screen).
Thank you,
David.
