This might be a silly question, but: how do I turn off the watch correctly?
(And: Where should I have looked to find the answer myself?)

Thanks in advance

It's in the Settings menu, at the bottom. And this kind of info, with much more, can be found here: https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js2#powering-off

Cool, thanks 1e+06. Both for the pointer and for the quick reply. And for the answer itself of course. :-)

No worries... I also happened upon the Poweroff app in the App loader just now. Hadn't seen that one before and it will also do the trick.

May be off-topic. Yesterday I've turned off my Bangel2 programmatically, issuing Bangel.Off(); in dev console. The screen turned off.
But this morning the battery was completely drained.
I was playing with GPS development before turn off.
Can it be that I've turned off the main board, but GPS chip was left running?

Just for the completeness: There is an app (by me) which turns the Bangle.js off:

@Mark_M have you updated firmware at all? The first firmware (2v10.219) had an issue where if the touchscreen was unlocked when it was turned off, the touchscreen was left on and the battery would drain pretty quick. You could tell as just touching the screen would turn it back on.

It seems GPS is turned off automatically.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
