Screen Timeout Setting on a Lily, Vivomove, or Vivosmart Series Watch

The Lily® and select vívosmart® and vívomove® watches have a timeout setting that allows you to set the length of time before the screen backlight turns off. A longer timeout will allow the backlight to stay on longer but will decrease battery life, while a shorter timeout will cause the backlight to stay on for a shorter amount of time but will increase battery life. Since these watches do not feature an always-on display option, changing your timeout settings can help you manage how long the screen stays visible.

For instructions on how to adjust this setting select your watch model below to reveal instructions.
