Hi, 

 

is there any way to adjust the sensitivity of the automatic display control?

 

I have the issue that the display stays OFF very often when i raise my arm to look after a notification or just look up the time. 

 

It is quite frustrating to always look at a black screen and have to use the second hand to touch any button on the watch in order to switch the display on. 

 

—> definetely room for improvement here!

 

And it would be nice if the display wakes up automatically when a notification arrives. 

 

—> next point on the Fitbit todo-list for future software updates. 

 

Has anyone found a better solution to these problems?

Hold in left button a few seconds.  At top, should see 'Screen Wake' which you can tap to toggle between 'Auto' and 'Manual',  You want 'Auto'.

Thanks for your post. The gesture wake-up function stopped working on my Versa for the last few days. I followed your suggestion and found the screen wake was turned off. It must have happened when the battery was low. I turned it back on and now the Versa is working fine.
