Many of you asked about the backlight on the Suunto 9 ! It seems it is important for you :D When I run during the night I have my headlamp and during the it is not necessary, this is why I did not really talked about it, in the original full review.
Backlight is activated in watch mode or in exercise mode by the press of any button or the use of the touch screen. Consequently if touchscreen is off, it won't activate backlight either.
In the options, you can dim the backlight, increase the force of it, or turn it off.
In exercise options you can keep the general rules, or turn it to always on !
You can choose to turn the total screen off in custom battery modes.
