Why don't you fix the problem when it has been around for 7 months? The problem is WITH YOUR FIRMWARE, not with someone's eyes, I'm literally 24 years old and there's nothing wrong with my eyes, I've never had such a problem with Tactix 7 Amoled, it's impossible to use watch in a low-light place

    I think we need to point out this bug, aka design problem, more prominently. Maybe a dedicated website for this bug, Reddit,Social media, ..
    Apparently it won't be taken seriously otherwise.

    Yeah, I don't understand why Garmin hasn't corrected this. Garmin says this is by design and can't be changed, but I don't believe that. Every sensor is controlled by software, and every software can be changed, you just have to want it and do it. I've never heard of a sensor that's pre-programmed, let alone for such a setting.

    Garmin watchfaces do not respond well to the AOD max brightness setting in the dark.When my AOD screen dims to +/-30%, I make a wrist movement and the screen gives 60% brightness (while in setting 100% brightness is enabled) on the Amoled watch in the dark. If I shine light from my phone on the watch screen, the AOD screen goes to 100% brightness on a Garmin watchface. I have a downloaded watchface (Falcon X) that is not from Garmin, were I do get 100% brightness with a single wrist movement.

    You won't achieve this behaviour. Light sensor instantly monitors environment and adapt brightness to detected levels. That's why your display is dimmed after awaken in dark room.

    That's ridiculous that I need to constantly shake my arm to get acceptable brightness while waiting for GPS in daylight cloudy outdoors
