Sounds like you haven’t experienced this problem.
I have, and you cannot fix it by increasing brightness.
Got a tip for us?

Io maxed my brightness out and it’s still too dim in a dark room . Ya can’t use colors even
I don’t know how eyes work, so I didn’t find your comment condescending in the least.
But wearing my new AWU2 and my old Series 7 at the same time, the U2 has the problem and the 7 does not - never did. Both are running watchOS 10.
Maybe it’s just how my eyes work?
There will always be a small percentage of manufacturing defects, never in the history of manufacturing has there been a 100% success rate. Poor QC is quite a stretch for this sample size.
You can fix it by disabling night mode from auto-engaging until they fix it in watchOS.
You're dilating your pupils wrong!
Also, to the dude with a tattoo, you're getting tattoos in the wrong place!
Can that tattoo be cut and pasted to a new location?

A nit is a unit of measurement that equals one candela per square meter.
So it is "one nit"
Good grief. Brighten it and then get “multiple complaints from users that suggest the ambient light sensor it not correctly calibrated” just because these whiners with weak vision need to be accommodated.
I notice that garmin users, much like vegans, feel a strange need to let everyone know not only that they are garmin users/vegans, but that they are so much happier than everyone around them about it (and they really really are not trying to hard too be convincing) and then close with a line hinting at their disapproval of everyone around them. It sure is boring.
Apple should definitely give the end-users proper control over this. I understand that Apple wants their batteries to last a certain amount of time, but *gasp* amazingly the end-user is capable of determining when their device runs out of charge (hint to Apple devs; you see, it works like this: When the battery runs out of charge on one of the devices you sell, it shuts off. Making it very clear that the battery is out of charge, and making it easy for the end-user to figure out they are using more power than the battery can provide in any given period of time.) I use the "bring up the Phone Dialer" every single day because my Apple Watch absolutely refuses to be as bright as I want it to be any other way. And yet I've never once ran it out of battery life. Why? Because I know, better than Apple does, what my usage scenario is. Not giving end-users full control over a basic function such as screen brightness is utter arrogance on the part of Apple. Give us a "min brightness" and "max brightness" and be done with it, instead of assuming you know better, when you don't.
Yes, and the red is just plain hard to read unless you have superb near sight.
What is Apple doing? Its every day there is another issue with software and/or hardware. It’s really discouraging to see this.
I wholeheartedly agree with this post. It could be isolated incidents or just another bunch of whiners. These people… SMH.
For what it’s worth, the auto brightness on my ultra 2 seemed to act a bit weird with iOS 10.0.1 / 10.0.2 - sometimes it would get darker on wrist up instead of brighter, and darken itself to an unreadable level but go brighter on wrist down.
The good news is that I haven’t experienced any similar issues in watchOS 10.1 beta - so it’s possible that it’s already been fixed.

Yeah I would say on my Ultra 1 that is looks better on 10.1 than previous 10 releases also.
