Bug Report: Backlight issue (Garmin Chris)

Backlight comes on with gesture with ALL backlight options set to off (Please no comments on wrong settings, have used plenty of Garmin watches including the Instinct)

I think it may be limited to after sunset to sunrise only? Annoying.

Yup, mine does the same. Light doesn’t switch on with every wrist gesture, but definitely does come on automatically sometimes. All gesture settings set to ‘off’. On firmware 6.12.

I can confirm this too, not sure what it triggered. There is a setting for during sleep, you can only set brightness and timeout, maybe thats the problem?

Looks like it is, as suggested, connected with times set for sleep. It is ONLY during these times that my backlight comes on automatically with a hand movement/gesture, which I definitely do not want!…

For anyone that reads this thread, if your Gesture feature is set to Off in your System > Backlight > General Use menu, but your backlight is still turning on with the gesture motion during the Sleep Time window you have set, please highlight my name and send me a Private Message.

Can confirm that the issue is backlight still turning ON with wrist movements even with gestures set to OFF, during set sleep hours ONLY. Can also confirm that the workaround is to set watch to DND during set sleep hours.
