Any way to turn off wrist movements?

Even if i turn off the wrist gestures in the settings, it still shows the watch face when holding up my arm either forward or backward... Thus the option for the wrist gestures is useless.

Is there any way i can force it off? And instead choose to only activate it with the button or/and touch the screen?

I want to save as much battery as i can when not using it. That's why i ask.
