    I’ve had my Suunto 5 for several months, and recently the brightness of the backlight suddenly dimmed slightly. Has anybody else experienced this??? I know about the ‘standby’ and ‘toggle/automatic’ settings for the backlight. And I understand there is no setting to adjust the backlight brightness. Notwithstanding, I’m convinced the brightness of the backlight has recently dimmed. Anyone experienced this or have any insights?

      @mafxxx Make sure Do Not Disturb mode is off (long press the middle button and turn it off if it’s on).

      SV: fingers crossed :D
      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!

          Are you sure you are comparing the exact same lighting conditions? I’ve had mine for a similar length of time and find that there are conditions where the back light makes hardly any difference and others where it does.

          Because of this I wish they would make the heart rate and GPS indicators at the beginning of an exercise bigger and contrast the background more so I can more easily see whether the watch is ready for me to start my exercise. I’d also like a regular (non exercise) watch face with white background and black letters and numbers

          I love the watch otherwise.
