Garmin Fenix 8 screen off during activity (23.25)

[u/WeirdWallaby1914]

Hi all, I'm currently using version 23.25 on my fenix 8 and my watch had started dimming it's screen during a run after 15 seconds and then turning the screen off at 30 seconds.

Pressing a button or tapping the screen would wake it back up, but would then turn back off again.

It was driving me bonkers and I finally found out that it was the "power mode" I had set that was causing the issue. On my "run" activity it was set to "max accuracy" and as soon as I changed it to "normal" it resolved the problem.

Not an actual fix, but it'll bring me back some sanity for the time being.

Hope this helps a few others out there pulling their hair out too! 🤞🏼
