970 keeps trying to burn my eyes out 12.72

When I activate the screen in a dark room, it's fine for a moment. After a few seconds, the screen brightens for no apparent reason. I have to wear sunglasses to use the watch. Of course, I have the brightness set to low. And why can I only set it to ultra-low for sleep!

Most annoying thing ever. How can they not fix this..

Do you have a video of this? I never had any screen brightness concerns for my Forerunner 970 at night when in sleep mode.

No ones mentioning the issue when in sleep mode… for me one of my brightness issues is when i wake up and view my morning report then return to the watch face the brightness just goes full brightness even though it’s alway been set to the lowest brightness. And like mentioned above we should have an ultra low brightness setting like we do in sleep mode… there has been many other times when I’m in a low light situation and my watch is extremely bright for no reason at all and it’s extremely annoying. Give us an ultra low brightness option!

Almost all modern GARMIN watch models with AMOLED screens have an auto-brightness setting.

You can set the brightness level yourself.

However, 40% +- brightness

is hidden from the user so that the watch can regulate battery consumption itself,

which allows it to operate for up to 15 days.

If your watch turns the brightness up to the maximum, it means that the light sensor thinks it is receiving a lot of light and turns up the brightness so that you can see the information on the watch better.

Check where the light is coming from, or contact the seller under warranty, as the light sensor on your watch may be faulty!

But I would advise you to check the focus settings

where you can adjust these settings.
