- I know you can set the screen "time-out" length but I want the screen to stay on all the time while I'm on the course. Or at least be activated if I shake my wrist. My 5 year old Fitbit does this but my brand new technology Garmin golf watch doesn't. Even with screen timeout set to "very long" it's still only 20 seconds. Even touching the screen doesn't turn the display on, you have to press the button on the side. Anyone know if this can be overridden?
