Screen Lock in watch mode on S40.

is there a way to lock the screen in watch mode so the watch face stays on? When I’m not doing an activity, I’d like to use it as a watch, but not if I have to press the button or screen every time I want to know the time.

Here is the Support Center article that goes over the lock screen process - Preventing the Touchscreen of an Approach Watch From Changing Screens. When I tested the feature on my own Approach S40, the main watch mode time display did not turn off when I locked it. You will still be able to see the time on your watch without being forced to unlock the touchscreen again.
