Garmin adds RED SHIFT Mode to Epix Pro Models

Red Shift mode is more than just simply changing the display to red+black with wider changes to the interface and how the feature itself can be abled.
Q: What is RED SHIFT Mode?
Keeping the colours to RED and black helps to preserve your night vision and is also less visually intrusive in some circumstances.
Q: How do you enable RED SHIFT Mode?
Red Shift mode can be manually enabled. However, there are clever ways to auto-enable based on activities or time. For example during night runs and at certain other times of the day like when you are asleep.

Can’t find this feature anywhere on my 7X
He is saying it will be a new feature on the Fenix 7 Pro and Epix 2 Pro range.
Really curious about this feature. I can see that in some cases it would be useful. Probably really useful on brigth amoled display. I guest that it’s a feature than could be send to others devices like the 965 and 955.

It’s an EPIX only feature, not on Fenix 7.
EPIX has AMOLED screen.
