Always on Display Dimming on CMF Watch 2 Pro - Thoughts

I’ve been using watch pro 2 since past 4 months. The AOD functionality has frustrated me a lot.

Brightness of the screen when on AOD mode is so dim it is totally useless at daylight or even in bright indoors. I am attaching a photo that shows CMF Watch pro 2’s AOD brightness and that of Samsung Fit 3. See how bright it is on Fit 3. I can see that on Fit 3 AOD is linked to auto-brightness sensor. When coming from dim indoor to bright outdoor AOD stays dim. But once you wake the screen and it goes back to AOD it readjusts the brightness according to ambient light. Therefore it stays readable at all times. Also pls note, Fit 3 is a thousand rupees cheaper than Watch Pro 2!!!

I get the reason that it may be there to save battery. But with such low brightness it beats the whole point of AOD when I will have to wake the screen to see time because the AOD is just unreadably dim!!

Please fix this!!

Interesting, I have the opposite view. My AOD always pumps full brightness outside. Inside in low light it could be better, but it is absolutely always as bright as it can be in the transition from inside to outside light

ShantanuDeshmukh_sfq2hZZOxc I agree. Having used both, the Fit 3 feels a bit more fluid in terms of ecosystem experience. The brighter and clearer AOD is one example of that. Hopefully CMF can refine this over time.

Womey have you turned on auto-brightness? Also what is your enable method? Smart on or scheduled?

Auto brightness on, smart disabled (I do not use always on display)
