2. Select System.
3. Scroll down and select Backlight.
4. From here, select either During Activity or Not During Activity and then select Timeout.
5. Lower the Timeout to around 8 seconds. Repeat.

1. Long-press the Up button to open the Menu.
2. Select System.
3. Scroll down and select Backlight.
4. From here, select either During Activity or Not During Activity and then select Gesture.
5. I recommend setting Gesture to either Off or After Sunset. Repeat.

1. Long-press the Up button to open the Menu.
2. Select Watch Face. Select your current watch face.
3. Scroll down to Customize, then select Seconds. Turn Seconds off.

Activity Tracking:

2. Select System and then Power Manager.
3. Select Power Mode
4. Create a custom Power Mode by selecting Add New. Select letters to create a name for it. Select the checkmark to save the name.
