Apple Watch series 1 brightness problem

Why is my brightness so low? The brightness is super dark and hard to see. My parents watches are way brighter and the same version (series 1). How do I make mine brighter? I’ve done software updates and unpaired it too.

Apple Watch Series 1, watchOS 5

Check your settings on the watch in display and brightness.

Apple Watch Series 7 is too dark! Nach Englisch (US) I recently received my Apple Watch series 7 and I noticed that the maximum brightness is very dim in dark environments. I don't mean the always on brightness but the active brightness. I guess the problem exists since series 5/6 as I read it here. Is there no way to adjust this yourself? My series 4 is much brighter! This is a pity and for me a reason to send the watch back.

Display Brightness on Apple Watch Series 6 Hi Community - this morning the display brightness on my watch became very dim, almost unreadable. I have increased the Brightness in the "Display & Brightness" menu to full, but it has had no effect. Does anyone know I can increase the brightness of the display? Thanks! Liam
