Hello JUSTGMA,


Are you talking about Screen Time or the backlight time?


If you're just talking about the backlight time, you can use these steps to adjust it:


1. Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch.
2. Tap Display & Brightness, tap Wake Duration.

Turn on and wake Apple Watch


If you're talking about the Screen Time feature, you can use these steps to access and adjust the limits:


1. Open the Apple Watch app on the iPhone used to manage the watch.
2. Tap My Watch, tap Family Watches, tap a watch, then tap Done.
3. Tap Screen Time, tap Screen Time Settings.
4. On the following screens, configure options for allowable content, communication safety, time away from screens, and app and website limits.

Set up a family member’s Apple Watch


Cheers!
