Where is Airplane Mode?

I'm trying to configure the controls on my Venu 2 Plus and the manual clearly states that there is Airplane Mode (first in the list here): 

https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/GUID-A17FE8AC-DA32-4494-ABD1-AD1A388CC0C0/EN-US/GUID-700E76C4-F7E2-4984-8199-D59D6A31DFB9.html

But when I go to add a control on the watch, Airplane mode isn't there. This is really important to me, as I want to be able to switch off all wireless connections, and it's a dealbreaker if I can't do that, and the fact that the Venu 2 Plus lists it as a feature was why I chose it over the other Venu models.

Am I missing something here? If it's not featured on the watch, why is it in the manual?

    Thanks Spenstberg, I saw that thread a few days back and they were talking about the Venu 2s, and that doesn't have Airplane Mode - it's not in the Venu 2s manual. However, the Venu 2 Plus lists Airplane Mode in it's manual, and that's why this is confusing me.

    Are there any Venu 2 Plus users out there that can confirm if Airplane Mode is an option or not? I know it's not there on the default controls, but according to the manual, you should be able to add it to your controls (as you can with Forerunner models).

    It’s not not an option that I have. You have to delete one of the existing controls for the option to + another to appear, but Airplane Mode is not listed.  Bluetooth off is there and that’s probably good enough when on a plane as WiFi is only used in a small number of specific use cases.

    Thanks for checking Nick. I contacted support and they told me that it doesn't have Airplane mode and that it is a mistake that it's listed in the manual, so they'll update the manual accordingly.
