Welcome! In front of me I have Garmin Swim 2 and I'm gonna show you how to
0:04
change the backlight timeout duration on this watch. Basically how quickly the
0:10
backlight turns off after we stop using our watch. Let's start by pressing and holding the up button to open the menu. After the
0:22
menu opens you can use the up and down buttons to scroll through the menu. Now
0:27
scroll through the menu, find the option called the system and select it and
0:30
press the start button. Now scroll down through the menu, select the option
0:35
called the backlight and press the start button and here we have two options
0:40
during activity and not during activity. During activity basically means when you're tracking an activity on your watch like running, cycling, swimming and
0:49
stuff like that. Not during activity is basically everything else. So select
0:54
during activity first, press the start button and here scroll down and find
0:59
the option called timeout. Select it, press the start button and as you can
1:03
see we have the list of durations and we can select one of the durations
1:06
Basically we have 8 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute and no timeout
1:12
Select the option you like, for example 15 seconds and then press the start
1:16
button. And now during activity the backlight will turn off after 15 seconds
1:23
of an activity when you don't do anything on your watch for 15 seconds
1:27
Okay let's go back and select the not during activity and do the same. So press
1:33
start button, scroll down to timeout, press the start button and select the
1:38
timeout for example, yeah 15 seconds and press the start to confirm. And now we
1:44
can wait for 15 seconds and after 15 seconds the backlight should turn off
1:49
like this. Okay and once you're done you can press the crown button a couple of
1:55
times to go back, not crown button, my butt, back button to go back to watch face
2:00
Okay and that's how you change the backlight timeout duration on this watch
