Display brightness to see the time while sleeping..

I recently had the SR.
Do not disturb mode is set to 10:00 p.m. to 6:30 a.m.
If I want to see the time during this time I have to press a button, which is good. However, the time or the display is then very bright. The watch face is then also in regular mode and not in simple mode, i.e. “only the minimum display”. In general, I have already set the display to low brightness but in order to keep the time in bed at night When I see it, I find it very bright and dazzling. Have I missed something?

@Sascha-Domres I have the Same „problem“. I had a Garmin Epix before and the sleep Mode just showed the simple version of the watchface in a very dim brightness. The new „stealth mode“ was eben better which showed the watchface in red. I think this is an option Suunto needs to integrate in the firmware because AMOLED Displays has to be handled different to MIP like in the other Suunto watches.

@Sascha-Domres it should be ok…on my SV with do not disturb activated like you did, backlight is very low
According to SR manual it should be the same behaviour ?

@Tieutieu it is working perfect with the SV but not with SR.
Maybe it is dimmed but not enough or the difference is so small that you cannot see it. Either way I think as mentioned above Suunto needs to improve it. It is quite annoying if the watch is turned on during the night and there is no way to turn it off. The only option we have now is to wait the 20-30sec or cover the watch some how.
