Swimming rest screen unreadable after update to 20.16

The rest screen “repeat on” field became almost unreadable with black screen - it has orange background and white numbers. I will have to change the background color to white to be able to see the numbers. Anybody else having this issue?

    Yes, I noticed that too.

    I wonder how? (The background color here seems to be already set to "white")

    Yes, this is almost impossible to read.  Especially when swimming outside in the sun.  It is like when they made the background around the numbers yellow, they forgot to make the numbers black.

    I have a bit tinted swimming googles and it’s impossible to see data for both black and white screens. On a white screen in my case it was even harder to see it. I tried to change accent color for all screens in different places but it didn’t help.

    My wife and I Are having the same issue, we can't figure a way to change the background of the two fields, very frustrating.

    My only advice: let each of you report the problem to Garmin support.

    Here on the forum you can't do anything, all reports are ignored.

    Good advice.

    Although bug reports are also quite often ignored when reported to Garmin support (evident by some bugs that were reported long time ago but still not resolved), but that it the only thing users can do. Except returning the watch.

    Exactly. I think there's a better chance that bugs will be fixed if a lot of people write to Garmin's official support.

    Garmin probably doesn't take this forum seriously.

    The firmware 20.16 introduced a white on some color background display for the recovery timers, which makes them barely usable at all. Does anyone else have the same problem? If so, is there any sort of solution to it apart from completely removing heart rate information from the watch?

    Anyone who can help document/fix the bug, please send a private message to:
    Here: forums.garmin.com/.../1902695
    we finally found out that Garmin is investigating some bugs.

    This just happened to me today on my Epix Pro. White numbers on a yellow background. Totally unreadable in the pool, and the rest timer & repeat on are the two that I most want to read when doing intervals. I tried creating a new screen with those fields, but they are always like that. While I love my Garmin, I hate it when they make it worse!
