Automatic backlight

The backlight has three features that you can adjust: the level of brightness (Brightness), how the standby backlight activates (Standby), and whether the backlight activates when you raise and turn your wrist (Raise to wake).

The backlight features can be adjusted from the settings under General » Backlight.

• The Brightness setting determines the overall intensity of the backlight; Low, Medium or High.

• The Standby setting controls the screen brightness when there is no active backlight turned on (e.g. triggered by button presses). The three Standby options are:

  • Adaptive: The standby light is adaptive to its surrounding lighting conditions.
  • Fixed: The standby light is fixed to the brightness setting.
  • Off: The standby light is off.

• The Raise to wake feature activates standby backlight in regular time mode and activates backlight in exercise mode when your wrist is lifted to watch reading position. The three Raise to wake options are:

  • On: Raising your wrist in regular time mode or during an exercise will activate backlight.
  • Exercise only: Raising your wrist will only turn on the backlight during an exercise.
  • Off: The Raise to wake feature is turned off.
