Epix 2 22.06: Display dimming during activity (7-2025)

Hi, 

i know that the topic already was discussed and the final answer was, that it's not to avoid that the display is dimming after a few seconds.

But: I use the Epix 2 as bike computer on the steering bar. Until a few weeks ago, i never had problems reading the display in the sun, now it's absolutely impossible. The difference before/actually is huge. I have to push a button to lighten up - not very usefull. So - during the last weeks, something must have changed - probably with the update to 22.06. Maybe the display was dimming  even before, but not so much? Like it is actually, it's not usable as bike computer anymore, i need to see my heartrate and cadence.

Is there any way to get back the old behaviour?

Settings: AOD during activity is on, no energy saving mode, brightness set to full - didn't change any setting during the last months. 

  • I had the same issue - display would go dark while mounted on handlebars.

    A hard reset (hold LIGHT button until watch shuts down completely, then restart) solved it for me.  Don't forget to sync your watch before doing the reset to avoid losing any data.
