Aerospace Light Display

The two digital displays on the face of my EVO light up with two slow turns of the crown. However, the light (brightness) seems very dim. Is that normal?

I believe it is. My newer aerospace does the same. However my older one (1997) does not. I do not know when this functionality was introduced, but it is pretty cool!

Any EVO Owners

Are there any EVO owners that can tell me about their back light brightness?

It Is Dim

I went to Tourneau and spoke with them about the back light display on the new EVO. I was told the dim/subtle light was normal and it was not suppose to be bright like a typical digital display.

yes, mine is dim as well. I like it like that. It's plenty bright enough for night time
