I'm assuming this is the auto off time. The shortest setting is 10 seconds which is still pretty long if your just looking at the time or steps. I'm wondering if that can be added to a future update? I'd think this would help increase battery life.

Hello @cnyram, I hope you're doing well, it's great to see you around. Smiley Happy

 

Indeed, the auto off time indicates how many seconds will pass before the screen turns off after the watch's screen has been woken up. We really appreciate our members's input and feedback and I would like to thank you for yours. Our team is always looking to improve the Fitbit experience and I would like to encourage you to submit your insight as a suggested idea, where members of the Community can comment and vote for it so it can be implemented in the future.

 

Feel free to share your suggestion with your friends and family to add more votes and comments, this is the best way to make your voice heard and get the attention from our development team.

 

I hope this can be helpful, if there's anything else I can do for you, please feel free to reply.

The on time is 10 seconds if you keep your arm raised.  It is much shorter if you lower your arm back down, it immediately turns off.
