Why does the Apple Watch series 9 dims in dark lighting

At night when the ambient light is dark the watch goes dimmer and can hardly see it. You go somewhere with better lighting and it gets brighter. It should get brighter in less ambient areas

Apple Watch Series 9, watchOS 10

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.
