The autodim on the Fenix 8 is horrific

In low ambient light, the Fenix 8 will autodim to the point you can't make out anything on the watch face. There is no option to adjust it or turn it off. Even increasing brightness to maximum doesn't impact it at all.

This is a serious issue and Garmin has acknowledged it in their forums and said they will try to patch it but no ETA. That was two months ago!

I have until January 31st to return but I may return way before than as this is a serious issue. The watch is basically only usable during the day or in a well lit room.

I'm shocked this hasn't been discussed more here.
