      Hello, since toggle mode option was removed from watch. I was in hope that next update will bring toggle back. But it looks like that suunto don’t wont to allow users use toggle mode anymore 😞 . Now with every notification or button press backlight is enabled for few seconds which is anoying a lot. Please give users at least option to disable backlight at least for daylight hours. Watch knows when is sunset/sunrise so it should be easy to add setting to disable backlight (and disable standby light too) during daylight.

      Some inspiration how proper backlight settings can looks like. https://youtu.be/4V93hjP2eYk
      Gesture (rise to wake) on/off/after sunset
      Buttons on/off/after sunset
      Alerts-notifications on/off/after sunset
      And regardless of settings possibility to enable backlight with upper left button.

      Note: Now only possible way to disable backlight is power saving mode but even in powersaving mode this is not disabled completely but only switched to low intensity standby light. And powersaving makes from smart watch effectively “dumbwatch” so it is not a solution how to disable backlight.
