Note: use the Up and Down buttons to scroll and the Start/Stop button to select.
Backlight Brightness:
- Long-press the Up button to open the Menu.
- Select System.
- Scroll down and select Backlight.
- From here, you can select the Brightness percentages during and not during activities. Select either During Activity or Not During Activity and then select Brightness. I recommend changing the brightness to 20 percent. Repeat.
Backlight Timeout:
- Long-press the Up button to open the Menu.
- Select System.
- Scroll down and select Backlight.
- From here, select either During Activity or Not During Activity and then select Timeout.
- Lower the Timeout to around 8 seconds. Repeat.
Gesture: (this turns the backlight on when you turn the watch face toward you)
- Long-press the Up button to open the Menu.
- Select System.
- Scroll down and select Backlight.
- From here, select either During Activity or Not During Activity and then select Gesture.
- I recommend setting Gesture to either Off or After Sunset. Repeat.
Watch Face: don’t display seconds on your watch face:
- Long-press the Up button to open the Menu.
- Select Watch Face. Select your current watch face.
- Scroll down to Customize, then select Seconds. Turn Seconds off.
- Press Start/Stop button again to select your watch face and then select Done; this will save your changes.
