Hello,

I really like the idea of bangle.js and I would like to get one. I'm just a bit worry about the screen outdoor?

I own currently a MiBand 2 on which I can't read time when it is sunny and I don't want to get this effect again.

I've read a post about that and I'm not sure how it is difficult to read at least time outdoor. Is it usable or when it is sunny we can't watch the screen?

Thank you :)

Hi valvin.

The watch is usable outside, even though this depends on the colours choosen in the apps. If the apps uses red over black it will be barely visible but other colours as white or green are much better.

I had the same worries before buying it but I think after a couple of months of use that for the price, the watch is really really good. It gets even better if you can code and create or customize the apps.

I've received my Bangle.js :) and I've tested the screen outside. Reading the clock outside is ok but forget reading small characters like in default notification.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
