Apple Watch Ultra 2 VERY dim inside and dark enviroments..

Same here. There's no way I can read my watch at all at night, so no sleep tracking for me. And that's with night mode turned off!! AOD.

Apple just doesn't realize as one gets older, our sensitivity to light levels gets worse and worse, and I'm only 64. I probably wont be able to read my watch indoors at all by the time I'm 80.

Utterly ridiculous to have to do that. By the way… It doesn’t stay bright. It steadily gets dimmer even as you look at whatever is on the screen. If you have to ho to that trouble, you may as well check your phone. The whole point of having a smart watch with notifications is so that you can quickly GLANCE at it without fuss. No one should have to blast it with bright light just to see whats there.

Strange indeed. Been using Apple

products since the “Power PC” days in 1995/1996.

You'd think this catastrophe of the Ultra 2 that you can’t use in the dark would motivate this company to acknowledge and fix, but they deny and hide.

Censorship from Silicon Valley coming in 3…..2……1

hello

we have the same discussion going on, in a german forum for so series 9 which has

the same problem. The watch is just to dimm in the dark.

It scares me that apple sends out these warnings to you.

I did not return my watch because i hoped for a software fix,

but now i looks like apple will hide this problem.

Is there an ofticial statement from apple were they acknowledging the problem yet?

The same thing for me! Apple Watch Ultra 2 is VERY dim inside and dark environments. Apple please fix this. I can't even read anything. I have it at max brightness and it's completely useless. WTF Apple?

I visited my local Apple Store on Saturday. They are aware. I called Apple Support on Sunday. They are aware. The rep I spoke to at Apple Support last night stated that there are multiple reports about this issue and the reports/concerns are then passed on to the apple watch Engineering team.

Let's hope a future software watchOS update will address this major concern!

Thankyou, this is a great idea. I also have a fix if anyone is interested. However it may not work for everyone.

I wear my Ultra on my left hand and my S4 on my right hand when I need to read something on my Ultra watch, I simply swiped up, activate the torch on my S4, then shine it on the Ultra and then the Ultra 2 brightens up for a few seconds. It’s been working pretty well.

any other recommendations more then welcome!

The torch trick is not a fix. That’s a PITA means of eeking out usability. Try that while bike riding, jogging in the morning dark, driving, etc. In those activities, the several seconds you spend doing what should be only a 1/4 second glance can mean accidents, crashes and tripping.

Apple needs to speak up and immediately fix this before someone actually gets hurt while trying to see this “sports watch.”

Already fell while I was out for a jog in the early morning before sunrise. Tripped on a hole in the ground while running in the forrest, I hurt my ankle and couldn’t run for a few days, just back to it today, actually.

SAFETY ISSUE.

Injuries while trying to read a dim “runner’s watch” will happen. Perhaps that’s what it will take for Apple to address this.

Apple, this is already a SAFETY CONCERN.

Please give us the ability to control brightness—ESPECIALLY while doing various activities.
