Would it be possible to add an option to disable/somehow adjust the action of the quick button during workouts? I am somebody who works out with straps and my straps (or gloves), every single time, end up hitting the quick button on my watch which pauses my workout (eventually ending it randomly). I have attempted moving the watch higher on my arm but it eventually slides down and hits the button at some point or another without fail. I am lucky to get 1 workout out of 5 a week that is properly recorded because of this issue. I've read of many other people on forums having this issue also in varying different sports or situations so I know I'm not the only one. Thanks!

What would happen if you changed the orientation of the watch and reversed the buttons for your workouts?  For instance, instead of setting it to left wrist/buttons on right.  Switch it to left wrist/buttons on left and then turn your watch around.  That way you shouldn't be accidentally hitting the button.  You could switch it back after your workout or just learn to manipulate the buttons with your right thumb and leave it that way.

Ya i mean that's definitely an option but is quite cumbersome to be doing before/after every single workout. Possibly if there were a way to automate that when starting a workout it would simplify it enough to be a worthy workaround. Just is disappointing that a watch "designed" for active people would require something like that

Technically you don't even have to change the orientation, just reverse the watch, since the face turns around, you would just have to remember that the buttons are upside down, should you need to use them. They, unfortunately, have not yet made routines for the watches and this is a workaround until they make a disable option (if ever).
