Can you blank screen until button is pressed?

Hello,

I was wondering if there is an option to set the Fenix 5 to have a blank screen (but continue gps tracking etc) unless you press a button? I am looking for ways to save battery over long hikes.

Thanks

The screen does not consume power unless it is updated. Add a datapage with a single immobile datafield to save power.

Oh thanks! Nice idea. I would never have thought of that!
