Background color during activity

I cannot change background color (white or black) during an activity. The option in activity options is described in the manuel but missing in the watch.

Ok, but for example during a run a white background gives less reflections than a black one

I think its a bug in the software. fenix 6x can do it

Perhaps they copied it accidentally from a F6/F7 manual and because of the amoled display it is not present on the Epix?

A black background uses less battery and perhaps because to prevent burn in, it…

Having an amoled screen there would be no battery efficiency to get that white background. This is not a MIP technology where there is no difference in power consumption, whether the background is black or white.

That make sense, but then I will change to F7X

I don't care about battery efficiency. This blows! you get all the bells and whistles but you can't actually physically see the numbers when you are out running?

I agree, I hope this feature could be included in a future software upgrade. I'm an old guy and it's really difficult to see white numbers on a black screen when you run...
