I wish the lap button could be disabled

Far too often I accidentally hit the lap button with trying to access the watch when wearing long sleeves and gloves. Then it blows my splits for the whole run. I wish we could disable the manual lap feature or can we, and I'm missing something?
  • You can lock the watch which disables it

    CW
  • Locking the watch disables everything else though Dilnad. So you have to unlock it to pause or stop your activity.

    To lock, just hold the Up key once you've started your run, and select Lock Device from the screen that next appears
  • Locking device and locking one button are different things.
    I also find useful to have a possibility to lock lap button to avoid occasional presses (that ruin my workouts).

    Posted the same wish on 230 thread (and it looks it is not only me who have these issues)

    This! ^

    Locking isn't a viable option as I'm not able to use autopause at lights. In my city where I often run (downtown), my autopause goes wonky and thinks I'm standing still when running etc. Doesn't like the buildings and I don't like to waste the juice for GLONASS. This is not a 235 issue. Same thing happened on the FR220 and FR15 before that. Lots of steel messes with RF
  • What I'd like to see is something like a long-press to manually lap. End the lap at the start of the button press, but don't create the lap until it is held down for a few seconds.
  • lap lock like fenix3

    I'm trying to find the lock option under apps, run But there's none. In Fenix 3 there's a lap key option for on and off.
    For now I just tell my son not to press unless he really needs to skip the training program.


  • No such option.
    I wish I could disable lap button for all workouts

    Has anyone feature requested it yet? Shouldn't be hard to add.
