      Of course, if the watch remains immobile for a certain period of time, it turns off the screen, but I doubt that it is the situation that @TELE-HO talks about.
      In everyday life, the screen, in clock mode, turns off right during the night. or if we take it off our wrist. Not while you’re out and about.

        In fact often I can hardly see the screen and have to activate the watch even to see the time.

                couldn’t you photograph it darker?

                    That said, @TELE-HO the ambits are better seen, this is clear.

                      @Saketo-Nemo Yes the photo does exaggerate it a bit, and there is a shadow from the phone on the screen which makes it even darker. But I do have to activate backlight often enough just to see the time.

                        guys, I swear, it never happens to me. If I’m in the bedroom, in the dark, ok, backlight, in all other situations, never.

                          @Saketo-Nemo OK, here is a more realistic picture in another room where I had a bit more light

                          Still not crisp enough.
                          It gets better if I rotate my wrist to let it catch some reflective light.

                              Just for what’s my experience: as mentioned, it is transreflective. The more light it receives, the better it is seen. So it’s due to inclination. If you are in the dark you do not see it, otherwise just turn the watch in one other inclination.

                                  In full sun daylight it works like a charm. 😎 😄

                                    @Mi_chael i said what a user could do eg if running in a city at night since he asked how to light the screen.

                                      @TELE-HO Yes, I’ve never had an issue with A3P. Different display technology.

                                        yes, when I can start doing sport again it will be most likely running (even I am not a runner…) and most likely at night since it will be winter then… won’t be a problem with the BD storm 😀

                                        I thought more of some situations when you look at the watch quickly just to know the time and date… in any random situation

                                            @Mi_chael but you re right. With a headlamp and no other light the watch + backlight can actually become dangerous.
