Does anyone have “holes” in your 955 Solar rings?

My 955 solar is having holes in the solar panel rings so the back screen light shines through. Really annoying! Do any of you have the same issue in low light or dark conditions?

It’s difficult to show with my phone camera so I have turned screen brightness up to 100%. I don’t use my backlight brightness higher than 20% and even then it shows. You can see the holes at 3 and especially at 9 o’clock.

Have you seen that in any of your watches?

Thank you. And merry Christmas

Thank you DaKo

Anyone else in here who does not have the issue? i.e. it's an actual error in some of the watches and not allof them.

Thank you - and merry Christmas from Denmark.

100% backlight

Hero, thank you!

I checked mine. I have an almost invisible "hole" when I turn backlight to 100% and look at it in the complete dark. But I have standard 40%, it does not bother me because you then do not notice it.

Funny, I can see small crux at 0300 0900, maybe it is technological thing.

Thank you. Those I have, too. Assume all the watches do. But the assembly might be different, as I am only seeing light on the outer parts of the crux. And Miky is seeing none.

What do you see in dark conditions? Mine is visible at 20% brightness but isn’t captured by the camera, though.

I can see at 0300 at 20%, maybe 3px.
