It happens to me on average two or three nights a week that while I'm sleeping I inadvertently press a button on the 965,
unlocking it. Subsequently, again inadvertently, I press the start button a couple of times, and a running activity starts,
resulting in a vibration that alerts me to the start of the activity. After a couple of minutes the vibrations begin
they warn me that my pulse is too low for running, and they definitely wake me up, making me really angry!!!
With the 945, to unlock the watch, you needed to press two buttons at the same time, and it was practically impossible
do it accidentally.
It makes me very angry to be woken up like this, and if it happens again I wouldn't want the instinct to throw the clock out the window!

    You are moving a lot while sleeping Slight smile Is your watch also in sleep mode while sleeping? I mean display off? Because than it would be three clicks for it. Nevertheless just activate device lock when you are going to bed.

    Hi, before I go to bed, I always put the watch in sleep mode and activate the key lock. But probably by bending my wrist while I sleep, I press any button that unlocks the watch. Perhaps it is the Start button because then the running activity starts (following successive presses of that button).
    I ask Garmin to reintroduce the combination of two keys to unlock the watch, or the possibility of deactivating unlocking with a single button press

    I second this.  I hate this stupid unlock feature.  It literally makes locking the watch pointless.  It's particularly annoying if you ski/snowboard and your watch is under your jacket because it will unlock too easily with the press of any button instead of the button combo you assigned.   I wind up putting it in my pocket when skiing/snowboarding.  I also have a Marq 2 and from what I recall from my previous Garmins, the 965 is the only watch that does this.

    Yes same issue in crossfit.. its pointless to lock the buttons when it can be unlocked to easy with one button with 1 sec press.
