      @surfboomerang yup 🙂 That’s why people complain about readability because sapphire is less translucent than glass and more reflective. But I will never replace sapphire screen with anything else. I mean it’s the next scratch resistant thing after the diamond 🙂

        @dead-mailbox So, everything is dark even when the backlight is set to 100%? Can you make sure you don’t have “Do not disturb” mode enabled? Because this darkens the backlight regardless on the settings.

        S9 (non-baro): died after 2 months, replaced, holding strong since 03/20
        Spartan Trainer: casing broke after 23 months, repaired, lost watertightness 5 months later, died
        Despite some pretty bad luck, I still love Suunto!

            @dead-mailbox I see. The only thing left that comes to my mind is to try to soft reset the watch (press the upper button for ~ 12 seconds).

                  @dead-mailbox Can you post a picture of the watch with the backlight on and off?

                    do you have power saving enabled? this dims the backlight, too.

                        I can confirm that. Normally my watches have scratches pretty quick… after more than 1.5 years with my awesome X-Alps: not a single sign of a scratch on the glass 😍

                          Thanx to all of you.
                          I got in contact with the Suunto support.
                          There is noch protection film / label on new watches.
                          The support told me to check the same points as mentioned here.
                          Even a reset changed nothing.
                          i’m so sorry - but i have to send it back ;o(

                            @dead-mailbox you mean to check whether it’s ok? You may have gotten a faulty unit, so try another one maybe. I’ve heard that s9 screen is a tad dimmer than fenix 6’s but I never had an issue with is, my setting is 20% brightness or so.

                              @dead-mailbox Maybe we can tell you if the unit behavior looks ok if you post some pictures of it.

                                it’s not so easy as it is dependent on the lights around us. But you’re right, I start here with my comparison pics: 100% backlight and no backlight.
                                Maybe this helps @Dead-Mailbox ?
                                I am very happy with the readability of my S9B’s screen 👌
