Display dimming in the dark environment. (low Brightness)

Was it a beta update or the stable version 12.38?

Works like any other amoled watch I have used in the last 10 years and I am 50 with limited vision. If anything I think it's still too bright. Greenblack does have watch faces which are Garmin remakes on the IQ store that can adjust the watch face brightness in AOD. I don't see any issue. For the many here that have issues there are as many or more that think it's fine. Use a watch without an ambient light sensor then you will really have something to complain about. There is nothing to fix because it isn't broken. This is how amoled and AOD works.

I had a Venu 3 and this problem didn't exist with it. You may think it's bright enough or even too bright but there are many users who have similar sentiments as myself. The big problem is Garmin's inept communication behind the issue and what is being done about it.  

Unfortunately it doesn't, and it's even worse when you are on a mountain in the woods during low light or night . I have to take my Tactix D Sol as the F8 51 is inadequate. The low lighting and timeouts are so bad you can't get a proper reading . So I'm sorry to rain on your parade it's bad and there are ways for Garmin to improve this and obviously they are working on something that will be introduced in the 13.Xx software .I'm sick and tired flashing my lamp over the watch to get the brightness up and constantly tapping on the screen to keep it awake during readings in dark or night ,*** this!

For me, it made a BIG difference to move to the overall (since there's only one light context, at the moment) mid-level brightness, which brings the low-light/night brightness up, quite a bit (to readable, for my 50-something eyes).

Initially, I adjusted it in low-light (mode), and thought, "that's handy, they have a separate context for the mode", but as soon as I activated it in regular lighting the next time it was super evident that I'd changed the overall (both modes) setting, the screen is way brighter than I'd prefer for normal use (preferable though, to not having functional low light levels).

I really prefer the lowest level for daytime lighting, at least for now in the middle of winter (not much use in bright sunlight, yet), but this makes the low-light setting WAY too dim.

I really think this is as simple as having discrete modes for normal/low light, or having a Focus Mode for this, either would work and seem like they'd be minimal implementation/testing overhead (from a s/w stack perspective).

I'm glad I have the Fenix 8 and not the Epix - the Epix would be too bright for me in the dark. Could also do with the Fenix 8 being dimmer in dark conditions, because it can be a little too bright when it's pitch black.

For that reason, I would support an adjustable "min brightness" setting so in the dark, people like me can have a dimmer screen and people like you can have a brighter screen.

Garmin-Laurie  Any update on if an option for us to disable/adjust backlight is coming, or not?  I know many have sent over supporting data/videos to you folks on this to clearly demonstrate the issue.  Or does garmin consider it's not an issue and the watch is operating "normally."  A "it's you,not the watch" kind of thing.

After buying a Fenix 8 amoled 51mm, I will never buy a garmin watch again. It is impossible to use them in the dark. The engineers, as I understand it, think that everything is fine. They do not respond to customer complaints. They are full of other bugs. Problems with the morning report, problems with daytime sleep, problems with multitraining, and others...Any Huawei watch out of the box is better than garmin and much cheaper.
