Just purchased a 45S after having a 35 and find the 45 watch face dimmer unless I use the backlight button does anyone know if there is a brightness option on the watch?

There's no contrast control for the display. You could try installing an alternative watch face with larger figures. I certainly found the stock one rather hard to see compared to my old FR35. I mostly use a face named XLarge Watch that works well for me, but there's plenty of choice.
I thought the same thing. Much better after I turned on the 'gesture' option in the 'Backlight' menu for 'not during activity.' That way the light automatically comes on when you turn your wrist.
I did try that but the battery life seemed far shorter.
See page 13 of the manual. You need a feature called Connect IQ. Either look for the Connect IQ app on the Google or Apple store, or connect the watch to a computer via USB and go to apps.garmin.com. Probably time I had another look myself.
