Apple Watch Ultra: How to Activate Night Mode

[MacRumors]

Apple Watch Ultra comes with a built-in Night Mode that puts a red filter on the display. Keep reading to learn how to use it.

To optimize for evening conditions, Apple Watch Ultra features a Night Mode that turns the interface red and removes retina-altering blue light from the display to ease strain on your eyes in the dark.

On other Apple Watch models, if you look at your watch or accidentally tilt your wrist in the dark, it can impact your night vision. Night Mode on Apple Watch Ultra protects night vision, which can be crucial for explorers and astronomers.

Also it just looks cool in the dark. Here's how to turn it on.

1. Long press on your watch face to enter the watch face gallery.
2. If the Wayfinder or Modular Ultra watch face isn't already in your gallery, then add one of them to your collection by swiping all the way to the right and pressing the big + button. (These two faces are specially made for Apple Watch Ultra and feature the exclusive Night Mode.)
3. In the watch face gallery, tap the Edit button on the Wayfinder or Modular Ultra face.
4. Swipe to the Night Mode option.
5. Turn the Digital Crown to choose from Auto, On, or Off. (If you set Night Mode to Auto, it will be activated in poor lighting conditions.)
6. Press the Digital Crown to return to the watch face.

Note that Night Mode only works when the Wayfinder or Modular Ultra watch face is being used – it's an exclusive feature for these two faces and cannot be enabled when any other watch face is displayed.

So this mode is only for Wayfinder?

Did I miss the article with the collection of reviews?

Wonderful! It is quite tricky thing to do and easy to forget how is done so thanks for posting this article.

If only Apple had a deep red like that as an available watch face colour on the regular Apple Watch. Really want one for night time.

Apple Watch Ultra: How To Read A Watch

Ah yes, “the astronomers”.

Lots of first responders work nights and need to protect their night vision. Its not just ultra marathoners going for 36 hours straight. Some of us also go camping, hiking, backpacking, etc... we want to preserve our night vision but we don't need an Ultra. Apple really needs to make this available to all watches similar to the Theater Mode.

I wonder why Night Mode isn't activated automatically when it gets dark.

As an amateur astronomer, I just wish that the other AW models had this option, as I don't want to impact my or other observers' night vision around me at a star party. I use a very dim setting with red for my current AW5, with the AOD display being off

 

[Makosuke]

Now that the iPhone has an always-on screen mode, I really wish there was a similar option for it.

I can set a nice dark red time font with no background for do-not-disturb or sleep modes that kick in at night, but as far as I can tell there's no way to change the color of the "☾ Do Not Disturb" text and lock icon at the top are stuck in white. Would make a nice bedside clock on my charge dock if it weren't for that.

Strange for the only face that can be used in this night mode to have UV index taking up space.

 

[jamisonbaines]

should just be a toggle in the control centre

I stand corrected (－‸ლ)

I wish they'd include this as a standard option for iOS as well. But I found a way to simulate it using the "color overlay" feature under Accessibility settings. It works remarkably well for preserving night vision, sleep quality, and not disturbing those around you in the dark. And it looks cool as hell.

This is pretty cool, but Apple and their stinginess with watch faces is pathetic. Most of the watch faces are average at best and the amount is piddling. With all that money you think they could employ a couple of people to come up with some interesting watch faces and bring more to the table.

 

[unregbaron]

I would like this as an iPhone display setting.

This feature is available on EVERY APPLE DEVICE already.

Go to accessibility and look at colour screen overlay filters. I use the red one when I'm out stargazing all the time. Laughed a lot when this was announced as a feature.

THANK YOU!!!!! I’m running a star party later this month, and that will help SO MUCH 👍👍👍👍

1. Red display
2. And just looks cool

Please, more informative articles like this!

Would be nice if they could bring Night Mode to other watch faces down the line. I’ll be using the Wayfinder face but would love to have the option of using Night Mode with some of the other faces I use.

 

[CarAnalogy]

Guess I’m not the only one who apparently missed the part of the keynote where they explained what magical and revolutionary hardware makes this feature possible.

Really hoping that by next year all these exclusive software features come to all the other hardware that could use them.

why does it look like the predator initiating self-destruction?

Retina-altering? Source? I think you used the wrong word.
