    @silentvoyager I have been wondering about that. I have increased my backlight brightness to 100% and still can’t read messages or see my watch face very well when indoors. Is there some way to remedy that? I bought the watch based on the photos I saw online where the watch face was easily visible!

      Have you check you don’t have DND mode, or powersaving mode on ?
      100% backlight is huge.

        @Mff73 I don’t have power saving mode on, but how do I get to DND mode? I’ve only had the watch for a day and have been trying everything to try to get the screen to be more visible.

          Long press middle button, and first option is DND mode (with a trigger slider)

            @Mff73 oh, Do Not Disturb…no, both modes are off. I’m talking about visibility mode indoors. Outdoors I can see fairly well. It’s like the initial poster says, indoor visibility is very poor. There is very little change between, say 45% and 100% brightness. It is definitely not twice the brightness. Thinking about taking it to a store that sells Suuntos and looking at their floor models.

              if it is so hard to read the watch, enable the backlight in stand by

                @Saketo-Nemo I have also done that. I’m thinking about doing a hard reset to see if that solves the issue. I feel like I have covered everything and I see nothing online that indicates this is a common problem. I want to wear the watch while training and also in daily non-training use, so it’s important for me to be able to see the time. Sport modes are very visible outdoors, so that is not a problem, fortunately.

                  Forgive me if I insist, but I want to be sure there is no misunderstanding due to English.
                  I understand that you see it well during the sport. My advice was to turn the light on in standby mode in clock mode.
                  The specific because it seems to me impossible not to see the time with the backlight activated
                  Did I express myself well?

                        could you please upload a foto (without flash in your usual ambient) to show the community how it looks?
                        maybe a close one and from usual view on the watch distance?

                          It looks a lot brighter in the photo. I’ve played with it a little bit and certain colors look brighter than other colors on the watch faces.

                            does somebody know the screen technologie s9 vs fenix?
                            I’ve had a fenix 3 couple of years back and never had an issue reading the display in lowlight

                              Just for the sake of chatting … I’ve set backlight to 30 😄
                              Of course not an S9, maybe it’s different.

                                @Kristen-Maria I have found gold and green colors are easiest to see, the others appear much dimmer to me. I have my backlight at 30% and turn on standby only in winter.

                                  s9 seems to have a completely different screen technology than fenix 3…
                                  I never used backlight… only in the dark

                                    I wear two watches, one is S9b another is a normal automatic watch, I never use s9 for time.

                                    I have to move several time my wrist to find a best view on s9 time mode. it’s not convenient during a business meeting or dating…

                                      I am not happy with the height measurement of the barometer, this is usually far off even if I calibrate this each time at the beginning of a hike.

                                      Therefore, I would like to know if there is an option to measure the height via GPS

                                          first short evening hike with my new S9B… so far, very nice watch! 👌
                                          the track is not too accurate but for slow activity like hiking acceptable… i’ll check all settings tonight… I only had time to setup the sport mode before the hike
