Hi Andrew,
All of my Synchronars go brighter in light. I thought that's how the light sensor worked, so it would be easier to see in bright light conditions.
I left the watch under a lamp all last night and nothing happened, although I may have a short somewhere because if I press on the module case I can get the watch to do weird things. I'll try wearing the watch out this weekend to see if it gets affected again.

I just recharge it, and it's back to normal again.
I think this is how they were designed. When a critical low voltage is reached, the display function stops operating, but timekeeping goes on until it is recharged.
Clockace, you might have a mild short somewhere, which is prematurely draining the batteries.
Sully, not sure why yours would reset itself ? It should actually go dim in bright light (I assume this was a typo). You could try breaking the light sensor input to the IC, so that this feature no longer works, but it might stop your resetting 'feature'.
Rgds.
