Adde,
Yes, you are right that a color filter on top of the LCD does decrease visibility. But still, this is a tool, not a fashion accesory (or are they starting to be just that ?)
Anyway, I've found a way to improve the readability of the display but increasing the contrast. The change is not dramatic, but noticeable.
It's possible to do it from the service menu (courtesy of the Watchuseek forums):
- Press and hold the upper left, lower left, upper right and lower right buttons until 'SUUNTO' appears on the display.
- When the display is blank press the upper left button once - 'SUUNTO' will appear on the screen.
- While 'SUUNTO' is still displayed press and hold the upper left button.
- Highlight the 'contrast' option then press the middle right button.
- Change the contrast using the upper right and lower right buttons.
- Press the lower left then upper left buttons to exit.
Regards,
Roberto
