Turn off "Always on Display" between specific time hours.

Like title. I like to use aod option, but every time I go bed i need to turn off backlight. I have low Brightness, Standby ON and Raise to wake off. I wish I could set for example that Standby goes OFF between 10 PM to 6 AM or something. I dont like standby/always on display in dark room, its a bit too bright so everytime I go sleep i need to turn standby mode manually OFF.

@Tami999 can’t you achieve this with the “Do not disturb” mode?

I guess you’re talking about the new Suunto Race Watch.
If so, clearly your request goes way beyond just the backlight when you go to sleep.

When you go to bed you should be able to manually enable a “sleep mode” with at the very minimum the following behaviour or options:

Touchscreen disabled
Do not disturb mode “on” (*)
Either standby mode “OFF” or special standby mode with super low luminosity
Beginning of the sleep tracking without waiting for the scheduled time.

I’ve been using a EPIX watch for nearly 2 years before the new Suunto Race (which is an awesome watch, Congrats Suunto on this one, I love it!) and I’m tempted not to keep it as I go to sleep.

(*) The “do not disturb” mode only mute notifications and sounds… it does not change the brightness.

@Pilok

Do not disturb is something I looking for. It makes screen almost completly dark, not as bright as Always on Display. But still it disables few things

@Tami999 You’re right. According to the watch user guide, the “Do not disturb” mode dims the brightness and switch to standby mode quicker.

Still, the standby mode when “always-on display” is activated is still too bright for the night.
AND… it’s not possible to schedule a different time for the sleep tracking between week and weekend… today I was waken up… because of the brightness of my watch as I was sleeping later than the end of the “scheduled” sleep mode.

With just a bit more finetuning for this feature, it would completely change the quality of the sleep mode experience.
I hope Suunto team will read this.
