Charge 6 always on too bright, ambient light sensor defective?

[RafaelSalguero]

I had to disable the always on display since it is brighter than the "normal" screen, is this true for all charge 6 models or is it mine just defective? I saw on the manual that it includes an ambient light sensor so I would guess the screen brightness should react to the environment but this is just not happening.

The AoD is always the same no matter what.

Should I return it and change it for another one or this is just the way it is?

Thanks!

Hi, @RafaelSalguero , the Charge 6 has a setting to allow you to adjust the brightness of the screen.  From the clock screen swipe down until you come to the settings menu then swipe up to find display settings.  Tap to open and adjust the brightness there.

The always on screen will have the same settings as set in the display settings menu.  It is generally not recommended as an all day option because of the significant extra drain on battery (especially if the screen setting is at brightest) but many users like to have it in certain circumstances - for example during exercise tracking.

I don’’t think you will likely find much difference by exchanging your Charge 6.
