      Hello, today on bike i found out Rise to wake is useless when holding bike handles. So in middle of excercise i enabled AOD and set off rise to wake. After some time display got dimmer and went to AOD mode i assume. But still when i turn the wrist to make watch more vertical, it got much brighter. Is it bug or feature?

        @Tomas5 Could be the light sensor. If you move the display into direct sunlight it adapts very fast.
        Unfortunatly this really only works for direct sunlight, indirect (like cloudy weather) has much less effect and leaves the display hard to read

            @Tomas5 Yes, I think its an undocumented feature. Found the function it by accident in direct sun, easy to reproduce if you try. Takes about 1-3 seconds to adapt on my Race S. Not much slower then raise to wake
