      Hey ๐Ÿ™‚
      Yesterday I did my first night dive with the ocean, of course I have set the brightness to low in advance. However, the watch was too bright and almost blinding. Is it possible to add โ€œExtra lowโ€ brightness preset, or even manual brightness control in addition to the presets, like on smartphones (scale from 0-100 or something like that)

      Thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

        @Samyon-Shahnovitch Interesting detail. I had a Suunto Zoop that needed to be charged by a lamp to glow in the dark and now a Mares with backlight (if you touch a button).
        Both good solutions, but not easy to do with amoled I guess. Curious if someone finds a good solution

          @Samyon-Shahnovitch I still remember the good old days when the early firmware of Suunto 9 (and Spartans before that) had adjustable brightness in 5% increments. Then Suunto decided to change it to low/medium/high, making my S9 and now Vertical annoyingly bright during night use. And I can fully imagine that it might be even worse with an AMOLED screen. I wish they would revert this for all their watches.

          SV: fingers crossed :D
          S9 (non-baro): died after 2 months, replaced, holding strong since 03/20
          Spartan Trainer: casing broke after 23 months, repaired, lost watertightness 5 months later, died
          Despite some pretty bad luck, I still love Suunto!
