Turn on/off the backlight button 3 times and 945 chimes (easter egg??)

iLuvGadgets over 5 years ago

I was pressing the backlight button fastly and to my surprise I noticed that every 3 times turning on and off the backlight, the watch chimes.

What does it mean?

You'll be pressing the button a total of 6 times. But it has to be fast. If you do it slowly, it won't chime.

Same here. Not sure it means anything, but it's interesting...

(I'm on a stock updated watch. No beta.)

I don't know what the use is (although I always suspected it was some sort of "sound check" or a water eject feature like on the apple watch) but it's nothing new, I noticed it a year ago already.

Could it be in order to say that it is the wrong procedure to start the "emergency procedure"?
