24 hour format setting for GMT Face on Apple Watch

Hi, today I have noticed that the GMT bezel for my Apple Watch is now displaying in a 12 hour format rather than 24 hour as it has been. As per my photo it is currently 2pm and the bezel shows a “2” rather than “14” as it has been since purchase. Thank you for any advice.

Modular Apple Watch face gone after watchOS 9 i recently had an update on my apple watch going to 9.0. i have always had Modular face on the watch with digital Day & date in bold in the centre section while time was also bold on the top right area, it also allowed 3-4 other sections which was very handy to have all things on the face with digital day & date with time in bold. with this recent update of 9.0 the centre cannot have digital day n date. Besides there is no other face which can allow bold date,day & time alongwith 3-4 other small sections. i am very upset with this change / update. Can there be a solution to this -- to get a face with date, day, time in bold while having 3-4 small section for other things like overseas time for a place, % charge of the watch, outdoor tempo of my location [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple Watch Series 9 Brightness is Too Dim in Dark Rooms I just upgraded from an Apple Watch 5 to 9, and I thought the 9 would actually be brighter in darker conditions than the 5, but, I'm finding it impossible to read my watch in a dark room because the display is way too dim. Even the larger text is hard to make out, and my eyes really aren't that bad. I've searched the settings and can't seem to find anything that lets me fix this problem, but I'm hoping it's just that I'm missing some obvious feature that will let me make the display brighter in dim light situations. Can someone please tell me where to find this setting?

Problem: GMT watch face doesn’t show 24 hrs on outer ring I just got the Apple Watch SE and I’d like the watch to show current location time as 12hr and UTC time in 24hr format. The description for the GMT watch face says the outer ring is 24 hour format. After I add the GMT watch face to the watch using the Watch app on the phone I notice the outer ring is in 12hr format. It stays that way even after selecting UTC as the second time zone. How do I get the outer ring to show the 24 hr format? I want to keep all other times on my phone and watch to be the 12hr format. I restarted both the iPhone and the watch and that did not correct the problem. Thanks,
