Note: The following information applies to COROS watches equipped with MIP (Memory in Pixel) screens. For tips on customizing display settings for AMOLED screens (PACE Pro), please see this article.
Backlight
The backlight on your COROS watch is activated any time you raise your wrist or operate the buttons. Although the brightness level cannot be modified, you can adjust Gesture Backlight settings.
For optimal battery performance, we recommend limiting backlight usage by going to the main watch menu > System > More Settings > Gesture Backlight > OFF.
Screen visibility
Due to the nature of the Memory in Pixel (MiP) screen used on COROS watches, the visibility is the best when used in outdoor environments under direct sunlight. The stronger the sunlight is, the better the screen visibility is. We recommend adjusting the following settings to enhance visibility during workouts:
- Turn on White Background feature on the watch.
- Main watch face > System > Workout Interface > Background Color > White.
- Select Large in the font size option on the watch.
- Main watch face > System > Workout Interface > Font Size > Large.
- This option is not available on the COROS PACE 3, PACE Pro, APEX 2, APEX 2 Pro, VERTIX 2, VERTIX 2S.
- Reduce the number of data metrics on the workout data page by changing the frame on the COROS app.
- COROS app > Device page > Workout Data > select workout mode > select a data page > select the desired frame.
- Turn on Night Mode for low brightness level always-on backlight. Once activated, the mode will last till the next sunrise.
- Main watch face > Toolbox/shortcut menu > Night Mode > ON.
- Available on PACE 2/PACE 3/PACE Pro/APEX Pro/APEX 2/APEX 2 Pro/VERTIX/VERTIX 2/VERTIX 2S
Please note, the APEX/APEX Pro/APEX 2/APEX 2 Pro/VERTIX/VERTIX 2/VERTIX 2S are equipped with more durable and scratch-resistant sapphire glass. Due to the nature of the sapphire material, the visibility is slightly affected compared with other less durable screen materials. VERTIX may also have a slightly dimmer screen than the other COROS models due to the diamond-like coating on the screen that provides increased durability and scratch resistance.
