There is a gradient for a few seconds, then it fades to a darker face. Maybe that’s related to the auto dimming face settings.
I see a white gradient/shadow on the second hand
I count five seconds before it fades out.

This is a photo of the AOD for the Solar Analog face. Either a bright light source or flash is making it look like a normal face.
I believe it’s the number of feet above sea level.
That is your current (+/- 20ft) elevation above or below sea level.
Thank you so much for the insight. I’m still
Trying to learn the ins and outs of this watch, seems like there’s a lot to it. I’m on the ground nearby the Apple campus so I wonder maybe if this is the ground level above sea level? Either way, thank you all again

Very interesting…
My gauge is filled in about the same as yours. Virtually half of the watch face.
The BIG difference is I live at 5,000 feet and my numbers at the top are 10,000ft and 3,000 meters with my mark at about halfway. I’ll half to head up to about 8k-10,000 ft one of these days when I get time and see what it looks like then.
I wonder when I’m at 10,000 ft if the top number will change to 20,000 ft and the watch will still show as “halfway”
Interesting. Unfortunately, I can't get it to work - both the Seconds hand and the gradient remain in place no matter what. Oh well...
Giving the silver lugs a try. It’s not “that bad” but I don’t think it’s for me.
I couldn’t take it! 😅 I picked up this beauty though.
How do you get it to show like that with the crown? I don't think the screen rotates lol.
You can change the orientation in the watch app or on the watch itself in settings.
Yes it auto-dims after five seconds of no user input. You can set the Wake Duration after a screen tap time to either 15 or 70 seconds in the Watch app on the iPhone.
My Apple Watch Series 3 - still going strong 
Still rocking my S3 as well
I've ben thinking about upgrading to the SE but my S3 is still going strong tbh
And as long as it has enough storage for my music (for offline listening when running) I'll keep using it
This is the band I got my Starlight S9 with. I love it! It is so bright and happy. My "good vibes" band! A must if you love Starlight or Pink (or yellow)
PS: I just saw in the meantime you got yours! Excellent choice - enjoy! 🤗

Looks FANTASTIC! i get a lot of compliments on this band! Haven’t taken it off since I got it. Easily one of my favorite bands of all time!
Got mine today (well yesterday but had to wash smoke smell off); here it is on silver steel:
Of course it will adjust. The scaling is dynamic. And fortunately, because it would be stupid to show let's say a 50 ft/m elevation on an axis with a 10.000 max value on such a relatively small display.
