When can we expect to a fix to the brightness issue when the Fenix 8 watch is in ambient light? I've seen numerous reports over the last 2 months. This should have been a standard part of QA/Testing before this release. I doesn't make sense to dim the brightness in a dark setting.
It's not the battery saver and my brightness is a full.
Update April 25, 2025:
Our engineers investigated concerns about the ambient light sensor dimming the watch too dark. They have determined this behavior is by design.
Your watch has an ambient light sensor…
The April 25, 2025 update tells me that the watch is working as the Engineers intended. However Garmin should still be taking onboard customer feedback and address the concerns that people are raising…
You guys just don't understand, that it's not how it's should be, i never had such issue with my previous Tactix 7 Amoled, but i have this issue with Fenix 8 Amoled, brightness is just TOO LOW in a dark…
I just found this thread to learn that Garmin doesn't plan to fix the Fenix 8 being too dim to read, even when the display brightness is set to the maximum value. It's an $1100 watch that I can only use…
This is nonsense. You did the same thing with the Venu 3 when it was first released: you didn't provide an option for the user to DISABLE AUTO BRIGHTNESS if they wished. Then after some pushback, you enabled this feature in an update and the Venu 3 screen became readable in all lighting. See attached image of the Venu 3 auto-brightness disablement option. See the little letter A? That's the setting option turned off so that the screen never auto dims. Simple. You can do the same thing for the Garmin 8 and allow your USERS, rather than your marketing team or engineers, to decide what level of brightness works best for them.
