Dear Garmin Team,
I'm Using Garmin Instinct 2 Solar.
Currently, in General Use → Gesture, we can only set the backlight to ON, OFF, or After Sunset.
I’d like to request an Adaptive Mode where the watch uses the solar intensity sensor to automatically decide if the gesture backlight should activate:
-
If solar intensity is below a threshold → Gesture backlight ON.
-
If solar intensity is above a threshold → Gesture backlight OFF.
Why This Matters:
-
Saves battery by preventing unnecessary backlight activations.
-
Offers a smarter, more seamless user experience.
-
Uses existing hardware (solar sensor) without extra cost.
This would give us a perfect balance between "Always ON" and "After Sunset."
Regards,
Shashank Bharadwaj
