I have a race this weekend 105 on trails. Should take between 15-17 hrs.
Can someone refresh my memory on the best settings for saving battery.
Turn off WiFi....
I would suggest:
turn off wifi
remove any CIQ data fields - especially ones that need to process data and write it to the FIT file
back-light off
wrist HR off if you have another source of HR or don't need it
smart GPS without Galileo
only use navigation if you have to.
Good luck!

Use a watch-face that doesn't feature seconds.
Though it doesn't state it specifically, I'd disable "auto-scroll" of the data screens.
Something else to consider: while you're in the activity, HOLD the "back" button to get back to your watch face and just leave it there. The activity is still running in the background (with alerts still functioning) but the display won't be updating every second. If you go this route, test out the functionality in advance (walk around block) and set "Auto-Lock - Always" to ensure you don't accidentally lap or stop the activity inadvertently by bumping a button.
I don't think you need to go so far as to use UltraTrac - 935 is supposed to go up to 24-hours in regular mode. (60 in UltraTrac)
EDIT - echoing what others have written, I'd add: while "smart" recording may not save energy over "every 1-second", you'll save a tonne of time later when syncing the activity - 1-second creates vastly more datapoints, many of them redundant. I've not noticed smart to be any less accurate but your mileage may vary. (figuratively and literally) There are a lot of discussions about that.
