But one of the things that (automatic or otherwise) locking of the touchscreen is to prevent inadvertent multiple consecutive touches from registering as a control signal from the user. Whatever mechanism the quick unlock uses, it cannot involve the touchscreen.
double tapping the button would be good. what i also would still like to see is an option for timeout duration before it gets auto locked... just like on phones. so a stepped option from 10secs to say 2mins before it auto locks.

Totally agree with this...a simple stepped timeout should be easily doable. currently it locks like within 5 seconds while the watch looks for a foot pod or chest rate sensor for instance which is really annoying. A double tap on the hardware button would also be good for quick unlock.
Wonder if Garmin monitors these forums at all to take notice of the idea though. :(
I mainly use the lock feature to lock the touch display to avoid it going crazy when I run in the rain. To me it would be useful that the option only locked the touch screen and a simple short click on the physical button should cancel the lock or even work as it wasn't locked.
Came here to post exactly this feature request. I would LOVE a quick double tap to cancel the screen lock, and a double tap to bring up the Controls Menu in order to lock it.
