Apple Watch SE Auto Brightness
Why is there no option to disable auto brightness? I am tired of my screen being unreasonably dim even in a bright environment.

Well then here’s to hoping the apple designers chooses to re-add the option to disable it. I can understand that being a wearable it needs to conserve as much battery as possible, but for someone like me who prefers to fully use and enjoy the display that I paid for, it is aggravating. I could’ve sworn I had it on my last Apple Watch, so I see no reason why it’s not on this one.

Thank you for your reply, but I am referring to automatic brightness. On the iPhone, you can disable it by going to Settings<Accessibility<Display&Text<Auto-Brightness. However on the Apple Watch there doesn’t seem to be an option to do so, even though it clearly has automatic brightness turned on. If I shine a light on the screen, it’ll get bright. Otherwise, it’s unreasonably dim for “max brightness.”

You may well have seen this feature previously. I don’t personally recall.
But I can say that today, this feature is not available on any Apple Watch model running WatchOS 8.X.
The article I linked above explains how to adjust the Apple Watch brightness. There is no auto-brightness setting. Why? Because the Apple Watch designers chose to omit it.
