How To Change Brightness On Fitbit Trackers?

Fitbit & Brightness Of Trackers!

Newer generation of Fitbit trackers are notoriously good at painting bright pictures, and it all comes down to the AMOLED screens. They provide avenue for screens to have much more refined pixel depth and faster refresh rate, which in turns leads to vivid results. However, there is a catch to quick moving tech, in spite the pleasing viewing experience, extended exposure can lead to multiple health issues. The most common of which can be eye strain and black eyes.

And certainly no one wants that.

So to know how to control your viewing is the way to go, but the question is how to make your Fitbit brighter or dimmer on command?

How To Adjust Brightness On Fitbit Trackers?

The better way to change your smartwatch brightness is to actually put in some work and go to the settings of your health tracker, and from there navigate to device brightness. I have seen some people using AI assistant (Alexa or Google Assistant) to help with it, given results can be circumstantial, I’d like to do it right way.

Note: If your Fitbit screen has actually gone black and isn’t changing back, it might not be issue of brightness.

Sometimes the reason for non-responsive screens are also Water Lock, DND Mode, and Sleep Mode. So, also make sure before you do anything that they are not interfering in any way.

Therefore, it should be our duty to regularly test it’s parameters to find the level which is both comforting and pleasing to our sight.

To actually do it, you might have to calibrate your screen brightness, or make use of ambient light sensor. Doing so could only better your Fitbit experience and lead to not only fruitful battery life but productive and reliable end results for your fitness regime.
