Display dimming in the dark environment. (low Brightness)

Här är en förbättrad översättning till engelska:

I received my Garmin Fenix 8 47mm yesterday.
The first thing I did was download and install the latest software update.

In the evening, while sitting in my living room, I noticed that the screen brightness was incredibly weak—I could barely read anything on the display. I navigated to the settings to adjust the brightness, but it didn’t work. I turned on the living room light, and after about 10 seconds, the brightness automatically increased.

When I turned the light off again, the brightness dropped after a few seconds.
When I checked the carousel menu for brightness status, it was set to "Medium," which is unbelievable since the actual brightness was clearly at the lowest level. I tried increasing the brightness manually again, but it didn’t work. The brightness did not increase, yet the status first showed "Medium" and then "High."

This is completely unacceptable—especially for a watch that cost me $1,100 and doesn’t function properly.

Additionally, the watch restarted itself twice.
Garmin has no solution for this, and it’s clearly a hardware issue, not a software problem. That’s why Garmin claims this behavior is "by design"—which is absolute nonsense.

I have returned the product and will never buy another Garmin device again.

I received an update last week, hoped that this issue would be solved but no. Still unreadable in dim environments. Bizarre.

I have been complaining about this since the day I bought the watch, and no one at Garmin seems to care. My guess is they struck a deal with a subpar AMOLED type and provider, and there is no true fix except returning the watch while you still can.
Check my post from 5 months ago, and the issue is still ongoing, except that GARMIN somehow thinks it is not an issue and our eyes are defective, as per Laurie sent on a private message.

Which is a really terrible explaination from Garmin. So they are admitting to exclude users with „seeing issues“ from using their product? Quite the opposite for what accessibility requirements are there for. Maybe they should put a warning label on their box: see an optician before buying this product?

This is not a proper explanation from them. I have zero "seeing issues" but it's just too dark. There is a lot of evidence that they have changed this in Fenix 8 series, it was still OK in Epix 2 at least. I hate it when they just ignore this whole thing. Garmin-Laurie

When I had a F8, I found it too bright at night and traded it in for a MIP Enduro 3. 
I think the answer is to give people more settings to play with. Some people just really like it to be bright like a phone at night. 

Have you considered that your TV is a little too bright for the dark room, such that while your watch has adjusted to the (dark) ambient light conditions of the room, your eyes are adjusted to the (bright) lighting of the TV? So when you turn to look at your watch it's too dark for your TV-brightness-adapted eyes?

Yes of course, the problem is there all the time at a certain light level. Also, when I'm out running in twilight. Why do you insist that it is not a problem. Do you think people's eyes "short -circuits" at a certain lux level and then come back. :-)
