Brighter display when in exercise mode - Charge 3

Status: Not currently planned Submitted by on ‎06-12-2019 18:56

When running or exercising outside on a moderately sunny day the display screen is difficult to see (at best). Most times it requires stopping in the shade and cupping your hand over.

I have the same issue with my Fitbit Alta HR....the display is not visible in sunlight. It would be good if the brightness could be improved.

When I exercise outdoors, I cannot see the display. Perhaps making the font color a vibrant color like neon and/or making the fonts bigger would help on all models

Make small secondary text/screens more readable when outside during day light hours.
