Add ability to dim the display on the ACE

I think the ability to dim the display on the ACE would be helpful. It is extremely bright when a child is wearing it to bed and it lights up when they move their arm too hard. Or possibly the feature to turn off the display at certain times while still tracking the stats.

Hi @Snwngel1981! I like this idea. It will benefit all the users that want to save some energy on this too. Thanks for your suggestion.

I was just wondering if this does get implemented, could it happen for the Alta/Alta HR models too?  I have the Alta HR and I have the same problem.

This would also be a great feature to dim the screen on the Charge 2. It lights up the room when worn to bed! If you could set a time for the screen to dim to say 50% or when the app reminds you to go to bed.

Yes!! My charge 2 will wake me up at night with how bright it is! A dim option when it reminds you to go to bed would be so awesome! I am kind of surprised this hasn’t already been implemented.

I totally agree for my Alta HR. It should automatically dim when it knows you are sleeping. It does help to turn off Quick View, but annoying to have to do every time and turn back on next day.
