Schedule Bluetooth on watch

SfD over 5 years ago

Is there a way to schedule the bluetooth on/off on the watch?

I'd like to turn it off during night time, to save some battery.

For VA4, btw.

According to Support you cant turn off the bluetooth (=cancer) same for Huawei Gt2e etc... And they are not open about it either.... Garmin really dont wanna tell you that you are wearing a device (vivoactive 4) emiting cancerous radiation 24/7, huawaei have no troubles telling you the truth, bluetooth on ALL THE TIME.

Get a smartwatch with airplane mode and save yourself some chemo..

Its really truth?

Bluetooth doesn't cause cancer.

LOL.

Jokes aside, yes, there is a way to turn bluetooth off.

My question was if there's a scheduler available, even in a form of an app.

In 2011, International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), an agency of the World Health Organization, classified wireless radiation as Group 2B – possibly carcinogenic.

Of course its harmeless.

Any solution on this yes? Do you know?

There is not a setting to schedule the Bluetooth to be turned off at night then automatically be turned back on upon waking up.

Garmin-AmberD should that not be a high priority? Concerning the fact that people care very much for their health nowadays...
