Do I have to proceed any step when take the Instinct out?

Hi, I have just begun to use my Instinct and I have a doubt about when I take the watch off the wrist. Should I set any mode or just leave the watch as it is?

If you take it off for a short period of time (like charging, or cleaning), then you don't have to do anything extra. And if you take it off for a longer period of time (like a whole day or longer), then you might optionally consider turning it off, to save battery.

One day is really not that long for this watch. I have left mine sitting on the desk for 30 days, because I stopped using it. It also felt like a great opportunity to test the battery life, so I left it on and the result was: it lost only 1 bar of battery. As you understand power consumption when it only shows the time is so low, it can last for months (bluetooth was off too).

Former Member, if I was you, I would just leave the watch on. It would be fine. I would only turn it off, if I decide to stop wearing it or wear another watch instead. As a matter of fact, it is what I did after that "testing" month passed.
