another DK08 video with backlight on (pwm at 25%) and off https://streamable.com/bzogli , this is indoors in dark (under desk), camera auto brightness makes it worse but yes without backlight only the white color is clearly visible (clock time is white)
also here is photo of the clock without backlight under desk http://ibb.co/p3sVsr2 this time camera makes it brighter than real but the point is that even without backlight it is good as a watch showing time (with white color) almost in any condition except very dark. photo quality is bad because it is dark under desk. And BTW the watch is locked in charging cradle/box on the photo if you wonder what it is.
