Unhappy t6c contrast

Hello -

I received the new t6c watch for Christmas but upon opening it the screen is almost completely unreadable from any normal angle - it is chunky matrix black. The only way to really read the watch is to basically hold it at eye level facing up (weird). I read on other versions forums that some watches had issues with the contrast being too high or the bevel being weird so is there a way to reset the contrast for the t6c before I inform my loved one that the expensive watch he got me needs to be replaced?

Thanks in advance!

Liz

My viewing experience

I too just got one for x-mas.

I can read the face with a total viewing range of plus/minus 45 degrees or so, from face on. Within around 30 degrees either way, it's as good as face on; at the edges, the difference in colour between the digits and background is less pronounced, but readable.

This is under daylight conditions, with no glare.

Liz,

can you post a picture of how your watch looks like. It does not sound like a normal T6c. More like you may have a faulty display or something is wrong with the watch. The T6 and T6c display is easy to read in daylight and with the back light also in the dark. Did you by any chance switch on back light permanently? That may cause the display to be harder to read in normal conditions.
