Is there a way to change the color of the watch clock from blue to amber? It seams so counterintuitive that in EVERY Apple device you have has a night mode that filters the blue out of the screen, then on the nightstand it’s a VERY BRIGHT blue. At 1:00 o’clock in the morning if i barely tap the table or just want to check the time -even if I am half asleep, I am immediately wide awake after that bright blue light beans me in the eye.
Apple Watch Series 4
Of course!
I think the “focus with watch face” thing only works with WatchOS 9. If not, you can just remember to put the face on every night :)
This is what I have to do, because I can’t hook the watch up to my iPhone (my iPhone has no cellular), lol
In order to do this do I have to have the “always on” feature turned on on my watch? Because I believe it that’s only available for watch series 5 and above.
It seems so simple to have an update that allows the color of the night stand clock to be turned from green to something else.
You shouldn’t have to. I don’t think nightstand mode has anything to do with keeping the watch always on.
Yeah, that would be awesome. So we don’t have to go through a whole pile of troubleshooting just to make a workaround XD
It’s also funny that they chose blue and green when cool colors are known to disrupt sleep, and warm colors (like amber, as you said) are easier on the eyes. Did you forget about science when you chose your colors, Apple? lol
I’m trying to figure that out… Thank you! I think keeping the watch always on is only an option for series 5, and later . I’ve never used focus before, but will try to learn. Thank you.
Exactly!!! It makes the nightstand feature very bad for sleep!
lol
Yes, I feel you. I have an Apple Watch SE. For me, the time is green and it also turns on randomly during the night. While I don’t think there’s a way to change the color of nightstand mode, I have found a workaround.
You can disable nightstand mode completely and make a watch face that you like and use that one when you’re sleeping. If you’re able to hook it up to your own phone (unlike me lol), I think you can put watch faces that show up when certain focuses turn on, so you can set that one for the Sleep focus. I would use X-Large in a dim tone like orange, but any watch face works :)
…And any color other than BLUE or GREEN, lol.
The closest thing I found is to make the time white by turning the grayscale color filter on in the accessibility settings.
Nightstand mode- blue color wakes me up
