        @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I have the opposite. The backlight does not turn on when doing a rise to wake

          I had a problem where the display wouldn’t light up only during activity. Pausing it, navigating through the menu, and then resuming always helped. Black magic - so now debug it 😄

            Had it - but was gone after turning backlight completely off and on again…

              It happens sometimes on my 9 Peak Pro. In my case, going into settings to turn on the standby light toggle and then turning it off again resets things and the light then goes off. But sounds like that’s not working with the Vertical in this case.

                @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos This is an issue since 2.50.26. I originally described the behavior here - https://forum.suunto.com/topic/14502/backlight-bug-2.50.26

                Others have also posted about it:
                https://forum.suunto.com/topic/15767/backlight-raise-to-wake-brightness-resets-to-high-after-entering-and-exiting-the-sport-mode-list

                https://forum.suunto.com/topic/15611/backlight-still-not-working

                There are also complaints sprinkled within other topics as well.

                @adamhert The short story is that backlight behavior is broken and may have something to do with entering the activity menu, but then backing out without actually starting the activity. For most of us, going into the setting menu and toggling “Backlight” on and off again fixes it. A soft reset usually does the trick as well. Seems like you’ve already done this without luck, so your issue must be deeper and have something to do with your specific actions around the sync problem.

                  I randomly faced this issue with some sport modes
                  now I have a routine of backlight high/low , wrist on/off that’s more of a voodoo practice then a fix 😁

                      Same on this side with a 9Peak pro, happens roughly every 6 months or so
                      Soft reset did NOT solve the issue, last time (2 weeks ago) I had to hard reset the watch

                      9 Peak Pro Since 2023
                      Maybe a Race 3S soon ?

                        Thank you for the suggestions. A reset fixed it.
