How to increase screen brightness on Versa?

[Your2kind]

This is a replacement for the one I bought not quite a year ago. The face of the watch is very dim compared to the older one. I have an apple phone.  Does anyone know how I can brighten the face?

   Thank You,

You also need to turn off your sleep mode in settings on your versa. Then brightness mode will be available.

@Simon_5910 THANK YOU 🎉 I have been trying to brighten my screen for days! It's great to dimmed at night but, I couldn't see during the day 👀 .

Appreciate you...

Great. Thank you for the advice re sleep mode. At last I can see the **ahem** thing!

[Mmathoney]

Thankyou. I ended up having to do a factory reboot through the settings.

I touch the brightness button and it will not give any choices. It stays on dim. What else can we do!

I had to do a factory reboot from the settings function on my Versa.

My versa has the same issue and the answers on this blog don't work since my brightness is stuck on DIM with no option to change.  How do I get the other options?  SueZ

Hi @ZippingZ - Just to be thorough, I want to make sure you tried the tips on adjusting the settings on your Versa. Tap here to review everything in detail. But here are the most important things to check:

Open your quick settings on your Versa by swiping down from the clock face.

• You will see an icon that looks like 2 levers (see below). Tap it. 
• You want to make sure the the Sleep Mode is off. The sleep mode icon looks like a crescent moon. Tap it to switch between On and Off.
• Also check to see that Brightness is set to Normal or Max. The brightness icon looks like a sun.

Please let us know if this helps.

Thank you so much. It worked!!!

I can't click on the brightness in my Fitbit versa. It shows on dim but does nothing when I click on it

[Char1313]

Just go to your watch face
Take you finger and drag down
You see what looks like 2 white paddles
Touch the top one
Touch the moon
Sleep mode will come up...make sure and turn it to off
This should allow you to change the sleep mode to what you want

Thank you.  It worked!

You are a god send!  I’ve been trying to fix this for a week.  Read your response and checked...it was in sleep mode.  Shutting that off worked!  Thanks!

Thanks, this really helped. Had the same problem after updating software.

In settings the sleep mode was also dimmed out so I couldn't adjust it there.

But I swiped down from the main screen and saw 4 shortcuts, including the sleep mode (crescent moon) which had been selected (think I did this by accident during the upgrade). Also, the brightness shortcut itself (sunshine icon), (which was on dim) and screenwake (picture of watch) (which was on manual), also do not disturb (no entry sign). I managed to fix a few annoying changes with one swipe. Thanks for the tip!
