How do I get my Apple Watch to stay bright all the time?

I never liked the idea of seeing a blank black screen on my wrist but then saw there was now the ‘Always On’ function YAY! So I bought the series 6.


BUT why then does it dim a bit when not directly facing me ☹️?


I wanted it to be fully on, whatever brightness I chose, so that for example whenever I’m sat down and it catches my eye I see the nice bright pretty screen and not a grim dark thing on my arm 🤦‍♀️. Any way of stopping it dimming at any time? Many thanks

That is how the always-on display works. Rather than shutting off the display it just dims it so you can still see what's on the screen. It will not stay bright all the time. I'd imagine that would drain the battery quickly.
