Auto dimming feature in iwatch software

How do I turn off the auto dimming power-saving feature in Iwatch gen4? My gen4 is updated to the most current software version as of today’s date (June 6, 2020).


The problem is often times when I raise it to read it is so dim I can’t read it. So I go Into the Settings mode and check to see if it’s on the brightest setting and sure enough it’s set to the brightest settings but it is still unreasonably dim.


A few minutes later I may touch the crown of my watch to turn the screen back on and it is in normal bright mode.

Hi jjmf,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today with your Apple Watch Series 4. It sounds like the screen is dimmer than you expect.


Have you tried toggling the Brightness slider lower and higher in the Apple Watch App > My Watch > Display & Brightness to see if that makes a difference?


If not, try unpairing the Apple Watch and iPhone: Unpair and erase your Apple Watch and then set them up again and see if the issue continues.


Let me know how it goes.
