Apple watch sleep screen not dimming Before watchOS upgrade we used to have that sleep screen which only shows time with simplified dimmed (only black background with green numbers) screen when accidentally waking apple watch. Now with WatchOS11, my watch does not behave like that anymore. When I wake my apple watch during sleep mode, it shows regular brightness (as other daytime mode) with regular watch face (not a plain black background) - it is very annoying as it is so bright in the dark as you trying to sleep. Does anyone know how to bring that simplified black sleep screen back? Thanks.

Have you checked the Control Center to see if you have Theatre Mode enabled? It's the icon that looks like two little masks.
