I have not ridden with non polarized lenses yet, been using Oakley mirrored lenses that are pretty dark so YMMV. Having spent more time with it now, I would say the screen is amazing most of the time, it really pops and is very clear. As noted in the darker shade areas with the dark glasses the screen appears somewhat dim without backlight on and with it on it's only moderately better, it's still readable though in these conditions. I have a very dark tunnel to ride through to get to most of my rides and inside the tunnel with glasses on I can't see the screen at all w/o backlight on, with it on I can just make it out. If I take my glasses off I can see it ok with backlight on. But this is a pretty extreme situation that one would not spend a lot of time in, but the backlight would be my only complaint aside from the text messaging/phone connection randomly dropping like the V1 (if it continues to happen). Perhaps with more time in the dark my eyes would adjust better but the v1 was better in this situation. I have not had the chance to ride at early morning, sunset or dusk yet and probably won't get the chance for some time so I can't say how it would be in those situations. Overall very pleased with it.C36 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 12, 2021 9:34 am
That’s an interesting feedback, the most detailed so far on the screen visibility, did you have the opportunity to ride with non polarised lenses? Have both and curious if significantly better with one or the other.
My #1 criteria (once all the gps / power data basics is there) is readability and yet to find something that competes with pure black /white screens. I had a (very quick) look at a Karoo2 and I wasn’t sure how it could be properly readable under the light conditions we had.
Phone snap, but pretty much how the screen looks mid afternoon light
