AOD brightness too low

I am using “always on“ for my display setting on Venu 2

never had problems with it but recently the display is so dim that I can hardly read it in AOD. So when the display switches fro active to AOD, the brightness is reduced far to much

happens on Garmin watch faces as well as on CIQ

any advice how to fix this?

thanks

There are some watch faces that offer brighter AODs in the IQ Store (Instinct Mission is one of them) Some of the stripped down built-in faces also stay brighter. I agree, it's too dim in general.

I wish Garmin would give us the option of having a brighter AOD and let us make that choice between more battery drain and brighter screen.

Hey Scott, thanks for your reply. The strange thing is, that I am using the same IQ face for quite a while and initially I haven’t seen that problem. Tried also the brightness setting, but it does not seem to influence this problem. Do you know if the OLED could have a kind of „wear off“, I.e is loosing brightness in general over time?

Hi! I have kinda the same problem with the display - not using AOD, but the problem is also with too high brightness. The automatic brightness doesn't work properly probably since last update to 14.10. Sometimes when I'm in totally dark room, it shines with maximum brightness like mad. On the other hand in normal daylight the display has sometimes too low brightness that it's barely visible.

I'm quite pissed by last couple firmware updates, there's too much bugs that are so annoying (the battery life is basically one third of normal 11 days before)

I haven't seen that kind of problem on any of my OLED watches. I have a Venu, Venu 2, and Venu 2 Plus, all as bight as they always were. I've also had a few Samsung watches without that issue. Could be a problem with that particular unit. May be worth calling Garmin support.
