Occasionally my HR widget will stay open. I mean I will look down an hour later and it's still on the HR widget. Sometimes I would like to deliberately induce this behavior, but how? Can't find anything in manual, on this forum, or by trying different buttons. What makes it stick sometimes?
I have also had this occur - not as much of late - I have seen mention of it from other members of the forum also.
Since it is erratic and not very repeatable - no cause has been identified. You are right though - it would be kind of nice to have as a feature. Or at the very least an option to set it to run for say 5 minutes... since one press of sensor sometimes barely gets a lock by the time it times out. Seems like a fairly short HR scan.
I've had this once or twice but also cannot work how to do it on demand. You could of course put the watch into HR broadcasting mode if you wanted a constant display of your HR (and time of day) outside of starting the timer.
