Bring back “hands” setting

ScanWatch 2 / Nova
  • Edited
Written by Andrius O

After the 1981 firmware update the “hands” option from the Scanwatch 2 disappeared. Now the hands move away from the LED screen by default when the screen is activated with the crown. Strangely, if Quick Look is on, the hands do not move away.


Please bring back the option to NOT move the hands away. Scanwatch is first of all a watch and it is important to be able to always tell the time at a glance. It was a perfectly fine option and there is no logical reason to remove it.

 

I hope this can be implemented quickly since no new function needs to be created, just an existing one added back. Thank you!

    I second this, it's annoying not to be able to tell the time on a watch.

    Please bring back the hands off option that was removed after sofrware version 2091 on Scanwatch2. This is a critical option.

    Nonetheless, it's welcome to add new features as the recent 'Watch face', but definitely not to remove functional features!!!!!!!!

    You can give us an App option to choose which of these features could be displayed on the watch, if there is a limitation, which makes more sense!!

    Scanwatch had already had a very nice user interface, why spoiling it?

    Otherwise, please give us an option to revert to the previous version.

    Thank you

    Please also see this thread here.

    Seems like nobody is interested in bringing that back.
    It seems that Withings is not interested in changing that back at all, I really don't understand why they would remove that anyways, a watch is a watch and should display the time no matter what that's why I bought a "Hybrid" watch and not something from the competitors.

    I prefer not having the hands move to the 10:10 position when I push the dial button to access the menu screen. Why was this changed,?

    It has been disappointing to receive the ScanWatch 2 and see that it doesn’t have the function to turn off the hands.
