Ambient Sensor Control

Is it possible to disable or control the ambient light sensor?

the vivoactive wakes on gesture to a dimly lit screen. Its not bright enough and makes the watch too hard to use when you have less than perfect vision.

I've looked and searched and i cant find any way to control it.

I imagine its simple to add a button to disable this?

Interesting. I have a VA6 since a few weeks and never had this issue. Screen is even more bright than my phone in direct sunlight. But even at night it dims properly, no issues. And when I turn on the light it's bright again.

Looks like some of these watches have a issue from factory already. Either with the ambient sensor or the display itself.

I consider myself lucky!

No issues regarding display brightness with my watch. It dynamically adjusts to ambient brightness indoors and outdoors appropriately - even better than my phone, which already does a really god job. No general complaints, but there might be individual hardware issues as already mentioned
