HR just for activity?

love the watch, garmin designed it for me I think!
However, the wrist hr wakes me up at night with the light and I just think the whole steps/ activity monitoring stuff is just a gimick that uses the battery up (bah humbug) hence I just want the hr on during a real sport. I’m currently manually switching it on and off during a run/ bike ride, is there any way to do this automatically or put it on a hot key? Must admit I’ve tried and can’t find anything..

    If you set the HR option on the app to “off” it over rides the watch setting, much like it irritatingly does with the alarm (always set your alarm with the app people) so I can now automatically switch it off.. I just need to remember to switch it on manually (outside Bluetooth range) before I go running..
