Ecran amoled epix (gen2) avec support VTT

Bonjour,

J'ai acheté le support VTT Garmin : quickfit quarter turn bike mount et je constate qu'avec mon epix (gen2) saphire, lors de la navigation la luminosité s'assombrit automatiquement sur le guidon de mon vélo, ce qui rend illisible la navigation.

Pas de paramétrage sur la montre permettant de désactivé totalement cette mise en veille lors d'une activité.

Est-il possible de faire évoluer cette option ?

Merci d'avance

All AMOLED models burn in when kept on for a long time with a high intensity, so no. As I wrote, either get a model with MIP display (Enduro, Instinct, older Fenixes, or Fenix 8 Solar,...), or use an external…

Welcome on the English Garmin support forum.

Thanks,

I purchased the Garmin QuickFit Quarter Turn Bike Mount and noticed that with my Epix (Gen2) Sapphire, the brightness on my bike handlebars automatically dims when navigating, making the navigation unreadable.

There's no setting on the watch to completely disable this sleep mode during an activity.

It's not normal !

Not really. Keeping the AMOLED display all time at the full power would destroy it pretty quickly (burn-in). And it would drain the battery too. You either have to push the Light button when you cannot read it, or use an Edge computer (you could use the Extended Display feature to mirror your watch on Edge's display if you prefer it), or a phone with Connect+ (using the Live Activity feature). Or get a watch with a MIP display instead. It stays on, and readable all the time (assuming good light conditions not requiring the backlight).

really a shame
The fēnix® 8 – 51 mm, AMOLED doesn't do it either ?
Thanks

Ok thanks.

Most Garmin Edges can be used as extended display of a watch. The full list available at What is Extended Display Mode? | Garmin Support

Edge® 130 | Edge® 130 Plus

Edge® 520 Plus

Edge® 530

Edge® 540 | Edge® 540 Solar

Edge® 820

Alternatively, as I wrote, you could use any phone with the Connect+ app (using the Live Activity↷ feature). It requires paid subscription, though.
