Screen brightness

[Sharonmidwest]

Is there a way to adjust the brightness on the Versa? I'd like it a little  brighter at night.

I don't have the Versa but I think the Ionic is the same in this respect.  Swipe left to get to Settings > Brightness with options Auto, Dim, Normal, Max.

I have my brightness set to Auto and can see it in daylight and at night.  It works very well.

[LastLemming]

I believe the original poster could not.

Dim is brighter than auto strangely enough.  I do agree it's hard to see in some settings.

I just purchased the Versa yesterday after 2 years with the Charge 2. I love it so far but the screen could be brighter for my older eyes. I have read the replies but on my Versa I only have 2 options. Auto or Manual. There is no Dim option. Can anyone shed light on this..no pun intended. Lol

Yes there is a way to adjust the brightness! To adjust it go to settings on the watch, then you should see a small rectangle and in the top left corner it should say brightness. Tap on the rectangle until it says the settings you want, it should tell you what it's set on in the bottom right corner.

[SeleneD]

There are four options to set the screen to, Dim, Normal, Max, and Auto.

I wish there was a way to adjust the auto brightness.. or maybe they'll fix it with a patch.  In dimly lit rooms IIcan watch mine flicker between 2 brightness settings.

[SeleneD]

Try the Dim setting, it is not that bright, and it does not drain your battery as much as the other settings.

[Janisroberts]

Thanks so much for getting back to me. I can go to settings on my watch and
then I get to options screen wake and notifications on. when I push screen
wake the 2 options it allows me to choose our auto or manual. I don't a
small box at the top.

Ok, my brightness option is on the top, keep scrolling through all the settings until you see brightness. Once you see brightness there should be four options.

[Janisroberts]

I only have auto or manual. I have tried all I can. Very frustrating. Thanks for your help.

[SeleneD]

Your Welcome, sorry it didn't work. My options are, Dim, Auto, Normal, and Max.

Did you update your device when you first started using it? I seem to recall there being an update that I was prompted to do when I first got mine a couple of months back. The settings on my Versa allow for Auto, Dim, Normal, and Max.

[Janisroberts]

Mine does the same thing.

You're looking at the wrong settings. That's for Screen wake, when you move your wrist, yes Auto or Manual only there. You want Screen Brightness, which is in a different place swipe the screen from right to left and keep swiping. After a few screens you'll see a Settings cog icon. Screen brightness is there, and you'll see the 4 options as the poster above mentioned.

Hope that helps, I found it way to dim on Auto too!

[Janisroberts]

Hey thanks so much. Fixed it! So many little place to explore on this Versa.

I had the same prob..swipe left and go to settings..just click on brightness until max..its great..

[LastLemming]

Until you leave max brightness on and go blind at night.  They need to make auto adjustable in the future, manually adjusting multiple times per day is really bad.

I identify with the OP since my eyes are old as well. I found the Auto/Manual switch but that is not where you want to go to change brightness. Start in the icon for "settings" (on the watch) and work from there. The screen setting will expand to include dim/normal/bright. Bright is actually too much for me, at least in a darker room but normal seems to be bright enough.
