About the Auto Light Switch
Turning on the auto light switch causes illumination to turn on whenever you position your wrist as described below in any mode.

Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it towards you at more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on.
•Wear the watch on the outside of your wrist.
