Forerunner 265s Can't disable battery saver

I have a Forerunner 265s. Using the Garmin Connect app on my iPhone in watch settings/power management. I clicked Enable Battery Saver Mode. My watch went into battery saver mode, which in turn turned off the bluetooth connection on the watch. Now I cannot disable/turn off the battery saver from the watch controls or the Garmin connect app. I've tried turning off and restarting the watch and charging it to 100%.

Ideas?

Thanks

From the watchface, hold the UP button.

Does it not work or is it missing from the controls? If so you have to add it from settings-appearance-control-add (or something like that, I don't use English)

Yes! But I had to go into setting from the watch - not the Garmin app. Finally worked. Thanks
