It is by design, in my opinion to save on battery juice. Try inverting color, white background black fonts. That way its easier to read outside. My is very easy to see outside now.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.To some extent, the vivoactive HR's screen is dim when compared with, say, a typical smartphone display. This is by design to maximize battery life. However, if you feel that your watch's display is dim to the point that it is difficult to use, please get in touch with our support team so they can take a look: http://garmin.com/support Thanks! -OA
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's a result of the display technology. It's low power (allowing the display to be on all the time while still achieving great battery life), and is very readable in direct sunlight (like e-ink). It's doesn't look as good as a normal LCD indoors, but that's not where you're most likely to be using it...and it is still perfectly readable.
