Have an Apple Watch Series 7 gps + cellular. Just upgraded to iOS 10. Display is DIM. Very dim. Brightness is set to high. The only way to get brightness back to a normal setting is to shine a flashlight on it. Then it’s only bright for a few seconds. Any suggestions! HORRIBLE update
Apple Watch Series 2, watchOS 5
Hey there CTC295,
If you tried changing the brightness from your Apple Watch, use the Watch app on your iPhone instead and try changing the settings there next:
You can also make these adjustments on your iPhone. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, tap Display & Brightness, then adjust brightness and text.

Should the issue persist, check for updates on your Apple Watch and iPhone, install any that are available, then restart and test to see if the issue remains.
To update:
1. Make sure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
2. Make sure that your Apple Watch is at least 50 percent charged.
3. Make sure that your iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi.

Take care!
I just saw how to fix this. On your watch go to the settings icon. When in settings, scroll down to accessibility. Scroll down and accessibility to minimum brightness I had to turn mine on and then the watch instantly got brighter. I hope this helps.
Mine is dim too.
This will only make the same adjustments in display and brightness that you can make on the watch and makes no change.
