AW Do Not Disturb auto face change

[bingeciren]

Hi everybody. I noticed a pleasant feature of my Ultra. When the watch goes into DND mode, the watch face automatically changes from whatever the face I have for the daytime (in my case Infograph) to the night mode of the Wayfinder.

I don't know how this works or how to set it up to accomplish this but I am pleasantly surprised that it works like this. I would appreciate if someone could enlighten me about this feature.

Thank you very much.

I'm not sure how it does that without you setting it up. But you can associate a watch face to a Focus, and DND is one type of Focus. Here's an explanation. You'll see how to associate a watch face to a Focus if you scroll down a bit.

Use Focus on Apple Watch

To concentrate on an activity, turn on a Focus option such as Do Not Disturb, Personal, Sleep, or Work; or create a custom Focus. You can choose who is allowed to contact you, which apps can send you notifications, and whether you receive time-sensitive notifications.

Yes that explanation helped. On that link there is a section about choosing the watch face for a specific focus. In my case it was set to Wayfinder. The trick is to leave the Wayfinder in the night mode. Then when the watch goes to DND, it switches to the Wayfinder and since the Wayfinder is left in night mode , it automatically switches to that.

Thanks that helped me to solve the mystery.
