A technical problem already identified for the Apple Watch Ultra 2

The Apple Watch Ultra apparently has difficulty adapting to low light conditions. And for good reason: many users report that, when they leave a relatively bright environment for one that is much darker, it becomes difficult to read the information displayed on the watch. A bug encountered not only bySecond generation Apple Watch Ultrareleased during the September keynote, but also their predecessors. The first Apple Watch Ultra, for their part, arrived on the market at the end of 2022. These are no longer available in stores, having since been replaced by the new editions.

Apple is already aware of the screen brightness problem. However, in general, it only takes a few days for the American developer to publish a patch, in this type of case. As there is no reliable alternative at the moment, other than manually increasing the brightness, you will have to be patient until a potential patch is deployed.

Apple Watch Ultras running watchOS 10.0.1 and watchOS 10.0.2 operating systems are affected.

A much more powerful screen

By adjusting the brightness manually, Apple Watch Ultra 2 users can still push its screen up to a power of 2,000 nits. Quite simply twice as much as what the Apple Watch Ultra, the first of its name, offers. Or enough to use the connected watch even in direct sunlight. Moreover, Cupertino designed it to work up to altitude, where the rays of our star are particularly reflected on the packed snow. An altimeterAlways onis also there, for the more climbers.

The competition is tough

Faced with the Apple Watch Ultra and the Apple Watch Series 9, their manufacturer must also deal with the newGalaxy Watch 6from Samsung. Here, the manufacturer does not specify the maximum brightness, but nevertheless explains that its wearable can display no less than sixteen million different colors. With this, the device has a resolution of 432 x 432 pixels, for a diagonal of 1.3 inches.

Google is also expected to unveil its Pixel Watch 2 no later than this week. The device could have a slightly smaller circular panel, with a power of a thousand nits. Information that remains to be confirmed.
