Unless you haves the Always On feature enabled, that is how it is supposed to work.

Apple watch 6 too dim to see in sunlight. I have the brightness set to max and the watch is fine indoors but as soon as I go outside on a sunny day the watch dims so much I can't use it. Is there a setting to correct this issue?

Apple Watch Ultra 2 very dim in dark areas I purchased the Apple Watch Ultra to the first week of October just downloaded the new 17 point one update hoping that it would solve the dimming issue when you head into a dark area so dim it’s so hard to read text messages or even the time. Hope Apple is aware of this and is coming out with an update that will solve the problem, or give us the option to make the Watch brighter at night
