Apple Watch Wrist Raise Brightness

Hello. I was gonna ask something about if it is normal. I haven’t realized until toray. When I raise my wrist the screen pops up. But it is like, when the screen pops up the brightness immediately increasing a little bit. To illustrate better, think the brightness is %50 when it initially pops up. But in a milisecond it goes up to %60 and stays like that. I mean the screen’s brightness not staying the same as the screen pops up. Is it normal?

It also has a secondary use;

You can also quickly mute an incoming call by pressing the palm of your hand on the

watch display and holding it there for three seconds. You must first turn on the option

in the Apple Watch app on iPhone. Tap My Watch, tap Sounds & Haptics, then turn on

Cover to Mute.

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.
