Keep the watch awake

With some watches including stopwatches etc, I'd like to be able to keep the watch from going into dimmed mode while the stopwatch is running. There are apps that can vary the keep awake timer, so I hope this could be doable for a watch face.

Seriously! If I'm going to use a stopwatch, I have to first open Wear Mini Launcher and use its settings screen to set screen lock on. (I gather the "lock screen" option in the native settings menu does something else.) Then I have to remember to switch it off again, afterward. It would make a lot of sense for this setting to be accessible in WatchMaker.

I would really appreciate this! A function to keep the watch alive e.g. while the stopwatch is running or to make it wake up e.g. if the phone is connected to a charger, a Wi-Fi etc would be great!

In dimmed mode the heart rate sensor is disabled, so u have not the chance to measure the rate at time interval.

This one is a show-stopper, or should be if not.
A Stopwatch that times out in 15-30 sec (normal watch display on timeout) is useless. You can't watch something and keep tapping the watch at the same time! Every time I try I accidentally hit Stop or Reset and destroy the effort to time things!!!!!

I suggest if "Stopwatch Running" is TRUE then auto-change the Display Timeout to 5-minutes and when Stopwatch Running goes FALSE change the timeout back to the Default.

One can reasonably tap the watch in a 5-minute period and doing so would restart a new 5-min timeout period.

This preserves the watch battery and doesn't require defeating Tizen system (or Apple, etc) standard procedures.
