HW1 Bad Visibility Outdoors at Maximum Brightness?
I just got a deal for an Huawei Watch 1 for $60 - barely used - no burn in, love the screen quality and everything.
The only thing that lets me down is the brightness outdoor. It's totally unreadable even in cloudy conditions - even at maximum brightness.
I'm comparing it to the Gear S3 Frontier I had and Amazfit Smartwatches I own.
Now is that the usual for that watch or should I return it and try another model (got it from a vendor and am still within the return period).
I don't think I can do anything softwareweise and it's certainly no burn in either.

Huawei watch does not have autobrightness. Just bring down the setting screen from the top, click the sun symbol and adjust the brightness as desired.
Already did that - it's at 100%. I even rooted it and used Advanced Settings to set ambient brightness to 254.
Still not enought.
Tought I discovered the microphone is broken. That means it's going back either way :(
Well, if a deal seems too good to be true, most of the time it is. :(
