A bright idea!

My suggestion is to enable the light in the Fitbit to become brighter or dimmer. I wear glasses and I find it hard to see my Fitbit without my glasses on. When out walking I have to take along my glasses even to see the time. I believe that if the light is brighter it would be easier to see. Also dimmer in the night would be a great option.

It would be useful to have a screem dimming option in the utility options to conserve energy.

Hi @K764537 this is a great suggestion and has been implemented on our newest device, Ionic. In 'settings', you can choose 'auto' (as opposed to 'dim', 'normal' or 'max') which makes the screen lighting adapt to the surroundings, so at night time, the light emitted from the watch will be much less. Thanks for the suggestion!

 Hi @K764537 there aren't currently plans to adjust brightness on Alta HR. Thanks for sharing.
