Screen on longer for Ace 2

Just got an Ace 2 for my son.  The screen timeout is 2 seconds.  No way to adjust.  For little kids, that is way too fast of a screen timeout.  It frustrates them.  For little kids learning to tell time, 2 seconds is not long enough for them to see the screen.  The screen should be illuminated at least 5 seconds before turning off.  Considering returning the Ace 2 for this reason if the Garmin kids' band or other brand is more kid-friendly in that regard.

Seriously Fitbit. This fundamental and basic requirement is still "Under Consideration". It was logged TWO years ago!!! This issue is so problematic that the device was not used by my older child. It sat in a drawer for the last year and a bit. My younger child found it and wanted it. I purchased a new band, only to find... that core issues still haven't been resolved. Seriously... This makes me regret purchasing a Fitbit when all the kids at school are super happy with their Garmin's. Grossly disappointed Fitbit.

Ace 3 isn't any better as far as how long the screen is visible. 😕

Have to agree with all other comments.  2 seconds is hard to read even for an adult.  Just imagine for younger kids.  Even if not adjustable, make it 5 seconds default.
