I just switch to a leather band or link bracelet.

Yes. Garmin would be the alternative but it’s a worse as a smart watch. I’d strongly recommend the Ultra for those sports, though. The dedicated lap button is a must for workouts. The extra battery life helps too.

Action button. Need a dedicated lap button for running workouts. Better GPS and battery life too. Definitely helps not needing to make sure it’s charged 100% before a race.

Indoors? Total toss up. Depends how well each is calibrated. I wouldn’t really worry about it.

I just edited the face and re-added it and it showed back up after a few seconds. Try that?
