Apple Watch Ultra 2 dimming gets too dark

I purchased the Apple Watch two the first week of October I traded in my Apple seven series. I am very disappointed in the ultra two.

Once the sun goes down and you walk into a darker area, you can barely read the dial face or text messages this needs to be fixed.

The latest update to WatchOS 10.4 adds Settings/Accessibility/Minimum Brightness.

Turn this ON and the watch will no longer dim in dark areas.
