I have a new Forerunner 945 and when I go into the settings and turn on gesture to true for both 'During activity' and 'Not during activity' I still never get the watch to light up when I move it. I have had to hit a button in order to read the time most of the time. It would be nice if we had control over contrast or some such feature. My old Forerunner 35 was easy to read all the time while this watch has a much dimmer face most of the time and is hard to read while indoors.
