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

Hello there, I found out that this latest Apple Watch update adds a night mode sensor that is a bit of a pain on the Apple model that you and I have.

I found out how to turn it off

If you hold your finger on your screen until it pops into edit mode you will have a button that says edit tap on it then you will see at the top of the screen it should say style. If you swipe your finger to the right it will get to night mode.

You spin the crown to select the mode to be off.

Apple is already working on a fix

COMMUNICATING WHAT WE ARE SEEING

It’s been difficult to figure out whether we are seeing the same thing.

Taking screen shots obviously doesn’t work as the camera and displays change the brightness

What I tried is to drop my phone brightness down to the level that most accurately represents what I see on the watch

Here is the phone settingAnd here is the comparison of watch to phone

Is this what all of you are seeing or is yours better or worse??

Trying again

Tried earlier to show a way of comparing our image quality

The new images I sent didn’t display fully on the post. Perhaps they were too large

In order to replicate what I see on my watch I adjusted the brightness on the phone to as accurately as possible replicate the brightness on the watch.

with the phone at this setting the image on a he watch is slightly dimmer than the one on the phone

Here is on the side by side

As you can see the image is about as bright as the lowest possible setting on the phone

Same situation. Brand new Ultra 2 and the brightness is TERRIBLE in low light/dim room situations... Here is a comparison of the Ultra 2 on the left compared to my Series 4 on the right. Exact same brightness setting (highest) and same watch face.

cough cough ... sigh. Is there any hope left? The U2 is now effectively only a $900 daytime watch. I don't think their going to adjust this setting.

Extremely dim, even in my room that has LED 6500K light, I have to raise my hand so the watch faces the ceiling, then continue to raise it while I’m laying in bed to see the time.

Everyone check back in once the next update goes public or release. Something might be somewhat "better". I think at least.

That's what I've been saying... ;)

Are we allowed to speak of the "public" beta here?

Not really. Even though public,  doesn't like it.

I agree should be able to set your night brightness wherever you want it. It was better on the first ultra. They changed it with the programming, needs software update

I just wrote a review a half hour ago and they deleted it seems like they don’t wanna own up to their mistakes

Check this comparison on my Apple Watch Series 4 and Ultra 2. Same Settings, Same Room, Same Lighting.

(Image Below, If not visible on Mobile, try desktop.) Ultra 2 is Extremely Dim, Can't tell what time it is(Iphone Camera shows it brightness than it actually is, that's how cameras work)

WatchOS 10.1.1?

I'm reading between the watchOS 10.2 lines...

Lately, whenever I write a post, it gets deleted I guess Apple’s never heard of freedom of speech

Much, much better now will keep the watch definitely, all that's left now is to fix is the watch face's calendar sync issue fixed and work like the Siri one does.
