Disable Night Mode in watchOS 10

I’ve found a bit of a workaround:

First, turn off Night Mode on your preferred watch face (as I imagine you already have). Now, add another Wayfinder face, with Night Mode set to On, and move that face next to your preferred face in your list of faces. Then simply swipe to the ‘Night Mode On’ face when you need it.

I know, it would be much better if they figured out a way to bring back the original method, but in the meantime, this isn’t a bad solution.

You can disable it from watch app on your iphone by selecting the watch face you have in "My faces" to edit it, swipe down you will find "Night mode" probably on Auto, select off and it will disable it. You can do the same from your apple watch by long pressing the watch face, pressing edit, swipe right or left till you reach night mode, then select off to disable it.

That’s truly the crux of the matter! Why would they choose to remove the manual activation of night mode altogether?!?!

Please give them feedback to that effect at the link above. 🤓 Thanks!

Incredibly dumb of apple OS team to turn off the ability to manually change watch ultra color/night mode using the crown. It was the most used feature for me as I had to do this many times when watch gets very distracting.

any way to go back to older OS? I am going to stop using this watch otherwise

Hi. I fully understand your concern regarding taking pics at night when the phone always lit. I suggest you turn on the Cinema Mode. Thus, the phone stays always dark and lits up only when you double tap it. Hope it helps.

I do not find any way to control, turn on turn off the night mode on my ultra two.. either I don't know what I'm doing, or your information absolutely does not apply. By following your instructions there is no functionality to be able to turn off the night mode

Totally agree with the comments on lack of usability now Wayfarer has been turned to auto night mode or you literally have to go in and edit the face. Apple’s idea of low light and mine are not the same - the red only works if you’re properly in darkness and eyes adjusted - great for overnight but useless whilst awake. Incredibly annoying to take it off crown control.

Auto night mode is ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!

I have read that a coole if times but my Watch Face has no Option for Night Mode. I cant find any Night Mode Setting at all. I no face. What am i supposed to do?

On top of night mode disaster look at your maps! The background is so dark it’s hard to see any detail. It’s even hard to see state to state borders!!

Sleep mode is a focus mode. If you want to turn it off early, enter control center on either your Watch or iPhone and tap to turn off your focus mode.

Thank you sir!!! Already changed it. Was driving me crazy!! Thank you!!!

Another one that I always needed is find my phone from the watch! Now I need to go a long way from find devices!! Why is this? So many steps to tap instead of one. 😡 This is not an improvement!

Thank you all . now I got rid of this night mode, that was driving me nuts.

Done!!!!
