Battery drain when on AC, requiring specific Thermal and Battery settings.

Left speaker stopping working, requiring BIOS fiddling. With that resolved, this would be the hands down best smartwatch swimming app. I bought this 9700 recently new, and have had a few surprising issues with it, which on further investigation are quite common. It would be terrific to solve the 'older eyes' problem. The always-on and brightness control was built into the app rather than relying on always on. It would be helpful to note that the Galaxy Active 2 watch did not have the problems described above. I'm not sure that the next observation is true, but it seems to me that even with the settings described above, the display seems to be dimmer after a few seconds of swimming, compounding the problem described above. But that color does not provide enough contrast for older eyes. For me, it would be lengths or laps.Ģ) Observation: The choice of font color is a very pleasing light gray under most conditions. I don't think the design takes into account older swimmers whose uncorrected eyesight cannot read small font and low contrast.ġ) Observation: The workout screens are very flexible, but they do not provide a big single parameter screen. But alas while swimming the display is not bright enough to read as I make a turn. Uncheck the Change brightness automatically when lighting changes box to prevent Windows. Click the small arrow beside the Brightness slider to expand it. With the System category selected on the left, click on Display on the right.

I figured that that would give me an always readable display. Press the Windows key + I together to open the Settings app. I tried turning the brightness all the way up, turning auto-brightness OFF, and turning always-on ON.
