It makes sense to have one switch turning everything off - the airplane mode icon.
However, I would like to see menu item/icons for controlling the wireless modules separately. There's now just WIFI, but Bluetooth and ANT are missing. See my past comments.

When you start a training activity (In flight mode) Bluetooth and Ant+ is turned on automatically - and stays turned on, even when you finish your training. This is normal behavier for most Garmin watches.
