OK I can't figure this out. In the watch settings always on display is set to on. I have created a power mode that has always on display disabled. I assigned that as the default power mode for the walk activity... the display stays on. What am I missing?
Unrelated: i'm using the activity focus mode to lower the system alert volume to very low. I assume this would control the volume of the speaker beeps for when you start/stop an activity, or for something like starting and stopping sets in a strength workout. It doesn't seem to work either. The alerts always seem to blast at full volume.
