Please(!) add option for brighter AOD!

I know this probably wont happen, but could you at least add an option for a brighter always on display. It’s way too dim for me

and I know it will cause more battery drain but that shouldn’t be a problem if it’s just an option for people who want this.

And yes I already set everything to full brightness.

Hi. Have you tried deactivating auto brightness also ? Because it's really bright in this case (even if I understand it may not be enough for you ... and even if possibly it already reaches a hardware limit with this setting)

Yes. I am talking about the always on display not the active display. Setting brightness manually doesn’t really matter to the aod

I'd like to see this option too. It exists, to some extent, now. Most developers seem not to pay much attention to brighter AOD options.

Ahhh, sorry, I read too fast. You're definitely right.

But auto brightness does. I have auto brightness set and it definitely causes my AOD to change in relation to the brightness of where I am. Tested by shining a flashlight on my watch, the AOD lit up very brightly, then dimmed back down when I turned the flashlight off.

I have a similar issue. Sometimes I can read my watch perfectly in very bright light and other times it’s impossible to read. You can barely tell the display is on. I’ve tried setting to max brightness and the auto setting but it’s never reliable in bright outdoor light. What is the fix for this?
