Apple Watch series three Screen dimming and staying on.

[Aliceinlove]

Newbie here. Last night I updated my aw3 to the newest software. I glanced down at my watch a few hours later and the face was on and half dimmed. I thought it was glitched and tapped on the screen and it lit back up. Again this morning I looked down and the same thing. Then walking around Lowe’s this evening it stayed this way for about 20 minutes. Is anyone else’s watch doing this now??

Mine isn’t doing that. Might be a bug.

The Series 3 Watch does not have an always on display.

I would try a hard reset on the Apple Watch or in the least, power it down, and see if that glitch still exists or not.

On the bright side you don't have to upgrade to an S5 to get AOD

Yeah but his is truly AOD.

I would love to have this glitch on my AW4 as it is a bit More useful on AW4 thanks to infograph compilation.

It hasn’t done it again since last night. I know the series 3 doesn’t have always on display, that’s why I came here to ask. Maybe it was just a bug.

Perhaps you might want to edit the thread title. I read it as if you expected the S3 to have AOD.

Yeah. In reality your display dimmed temporarily.

Edited the title. I haven’t upgraded to series 5 yet because I’m not interested in the AOD. After updating I thought maybe they rolled out some form of it for older series. I wouldn’t use it if they did. Sounds nice but I’m sure it would kill the battery life.
