When checking details of exercise progress on my watch face, it lights up in bright colours! I have had to charge my watch twice, once overnight as usual and then again, early evening, otherwise it runs out during my evening exercise class. I assume this is the problem, but don’t know how to correct it.

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 10
You can reduce the brightness in Settings/Display & Brightness, or open the Watch App on your iPhone, goo to Display & Brightness to do the same:

Now I see, sorry for my misunderstanding 🙂
Correct, same on my Apple Watch 5, a new layout in watchOS 10.
Each ring has it's own background color, red, green, cyan. Only the first screen and the last two screens still have the black background.
But, you can tell Apple directly about your wishes and thoughts on that by using the Feedback link:
Feedback - Apple Watch - Apple
Apple does not follow these user to user discussions.
My watch has only those bright colours, if the ambient light in the room is bright as well, especially directly under my LED spotlight, for example. I return to a darker environment, the screen including the colours will not be that bright anymore.
Did you check, if in a not so bright environment the display has still these bright colours?
If the display does not dimm down automatically, try to force restart your watch by pressing the Digital Crown and the Side button together for about 10sec, until the Apple Logo comes back.
Then test it again.
Any chance that in the Accessibility settings, "increasing contrast" has been enabled?
Apple just released a new watchOS update, that should fix the battery draining problem:

Can you add a screenshot, just that I can better understand, which "graphs" we are talking about?
To take a screenshot with your Apple Watch, press the Digital Crown and the Side button together once.
You should hear the camera sound and the photo will be copied to your iPhone.
Or do you mean a certain watch face, that has different coloured complications in watchOS 10?
Did install it on my Apple Watch as well this morning. My battery used up to 20% more during the day after the watchOS 10 upgrade, although the battery health is still at 95%.
Thanks for your reply, tried that it didn’t work, the brightness did go down, but still intense colours.
Thanks for your reply. Tried all that hasn’t worked. Before the update the “graph” screens weren’t coloured as they are now, the background was black, now they’re the same colour as the “graphs”.
Many thanks, I’m assuming this is what’s draining my battery. I’ll get in touch with Apple.

Many thanks, I’ll give it a try.
Many thanks, I did the update, it’s definitely solved the problem.
You're welcome 🙂
The battery life on my Apple Watch seems to have improved as well.
How to adjust brightness in my Apple Watch?
