Auto screen brightness
-
Hi everyone! During an outdoor activity, when the sun is shining, it is more difficult to read the display anyway. But in that case, the Race is reducing the brightness, making it even more difficult to read the display.
Each electronical device with a brightness sensor, is increasing the brightness in bright ambient light. Suunto does exactly the opposite.
Can anyone explain why this is the case, or wheter it is possible to change it in the settings? -
Yeah, I was reacting to this very phenomenon today. Using the watch as a regular watch outside an activity, the ‘always on’ face became totally dark in the sunlight, but then brightened significantly when stepping indoors. I thought: “The programmers must have reversed the sensor logic!” - i.e. this being a bug. But I don’t know…
I’ve seen it at times in a running activity while angling the watch towards the sun, but since I use the brightest setting and run in the mornings in a gloomy Sweden those times have not been frequent. I imagine the coming spring and summer will make me more irritated though… Perhaps I’ll have to switch over to the Garmin FR955 with MIP screen then.
