Turn Display Settings OFF Ionic

[Maddysk]

OK. So there are many items I've found assisting issues with "Turn wrist to wake stopped working"-My issue is the opposite. I would like to turn the auto display off and I actually prefer to tap my watch to view time etc. as I did on my Alta.

Due to my job duties, my arms and wrists tend to move around in such a manner as to activate my display. Although the battery life is pretty darn good on the Ionic, I would like to save my battery and eliminate this unnecessary on/off display. 

Honestly, I feel like I saw this function when I first set my Ionic up, but for the life of my I can't find it now!

Swipe the screen to the left, there you will find the settings.

Palm to the forehead-- Literally! I was swiping to my "settings icon" in which, the Screen Wake function is NOT LOCATED. I then swiped to the opposite and FOUND IT! LOL. 

I find the need to explain this as I realize that other forum topics I read through all said the same thing and I hadn't realized I was doing it wrong! 

Hopefully, anyone else reading through forums for this info (that were having a "duh moment" as I was), will find this helpful!!

Thank you, MassiP!!! 🙂

Terminology varies with swiping.

I say, swipe to right which then eventually shows the Screen Awaken . Others say swipe left meaning, to show the left most screen

This helped me also because mine wasn't turning on like it used to. They should have all the settings in one place it's crazy that there's this one

How do you do this after the latest update.  That solution doesn't work anymore.  Swiping left or even going to the Settings doesn't have the option.

[kathytn]

Never mind - I found it on the website.  Need to hold the left button, not swipe it.

Thanks lady. You helped me with this auto wake issue and always on display setting on "nothing special "watch face. Thanks

[GAborn_CAlivin]

When I swipe left, i do not see the settings pop up. I am trying to turn off the automatic wake up when I am trying to sleep. Any advice would help!

I'm assuming you have the latest update. Make a long press of the left button to reach the "Screen Wake" setting you are looking for.

[kathytn]

Hold left button and it will pop up

Thank you all!

I have the Ioniic with the latest update, and holding the left button only brings up my credit card to pay. Does not bring up any option for the watch at all. Can anyone please provide a solution? Thanks!

[Colinm39]

@Greg_SingletonYou are on the right track.. You swipe right to left from the image of the credit card and the option to change "Screen Awake" and "Notifications" are there.
