Can I disable Apple Watch auto brightness?

Hello

I have an Apple Watch SE (I think the problem applies to all watches) and sometimes, when indoors, the screen significantly dims. A temporary fix is to shine a bright light at the screen where the ambient light sensor is, but it resets when the screen turns off.


Firstly, is there a way to disable auto-brightness?


Secondly, if this is not yet a feature, how can I suggest it to Apple?


Thanks

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 7

This is the ambient light sensor kicking in,this adjusts your screen brightness to match the surrounding area,there is no setting or configuration for this.
