Using Night Vision Mode on a Descent Mk3 Watch

The Descent™ Mk3 - 43 mm, Descent™ Mk3i - 43 mm, and Descent™ Mk3i - 51 mm watches have a unique Night Vision mode designed to be read while wearing night vision optics. With Night Vision enabled, the entire watch interface shifts to shades of green. Night Vision mode is designed so that the display will not flare out or create a blooming effect when using night vision optics, even when the backlight is activated. 

NOTE: Night Vision will affect or disable other settings such as the Watch Face, Flashlight, Wrist Heart Rate, and Red Shift. 

Night Vision Mode Watch Face

When Night Vision is enabled, the watch face will only show a simple display and watch face customization will be disabled. Symbols shown may include Eye with moon symbol Night Vision, Moon with Zz Sleep Mode, or Green circle with black rectangle inside Do Not Disturb, if they are enabled.

Green numbers and watch face symbols

For instructions on how to enable Night Vision, see your owner's manual.
