Charge 2 clock face too dim to read while outdoors

[Angelzeus]

When outdoors and especially when it's sunny and while wearing sun glasses, I can't read the clock face unless I stand under a shade tree and take off my glasses.  This is extremely annoying.  Can something be done?

Unfortunately, no.  This is a major problem with the Charge 2 and many have complained about it.

@Angelzeus Welcome! Thanks for being part of our Community! Sorry to hear about your difficulties reading the Charge 2 display outside. As @SunsetRunner said there is nothing that can be done about this but you can vote for the idea about having the option to modify the brightness on the Charge 2 display. The more votes an idea gets the more likely the developers will try to implement it.

Let me know how it goes!

I agree that the clock face is too dim to read outdoors, I have a Charge 3. What if the designers inverted the colors.  Making the background white and the information in black letters.  Maybe that would help.

@bobsgirl It's great to see that you've visited the Fitbit Community! Sorry for the late reply.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. As mentioned before you can share  your ideas in our Feature Suggestions board. Search for the idea first to see if one already exist so you can add your vote. The more votes an idea gets the more likely the developers will try to implement it.

Keep me posted.

I also have a Fitbit Charge 2 and I have to put my hand over the display to block the sun so I can read what the watch is saying.
