Several users on Reddit and Apple Community are complaining that the Apple Watch Ultra 2 ambient light sensor is not behaving as it should.
With the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2, Apple is really pushing how dim its display can be. Besides both screens being brighter, 2,000 nits and 3,000 nits, respectively, Cupertino also claims they can get as low as one nit for dark environments, such as when you wake up or when you’re in a darker environment.
Although it seems like a significant improvement, several reports on Reddit and Apple Community complain that the Apple Watch Ultra 2 ambient light sensor is not behaving as it should (via MacRumors). One Reddit user wrote about this weird behavior:
I started off in a lit room, then turned the lights off. The watch stayed super bright in its AOD mode. Only when I woke the screen and put it back to AOD did it go into AOD mode with the correct brightness (which is supposed to be super dim cause I turned the lights off).
