How to activate night mode on Apple Watch Ultra

Packed full of innovative features, Apple’s toughest smartwatch is now officially available. The Apple Watch Ultra is designed for athletes, hikers, divers, and other professional users. The watch includes a new night mode that helps it move in the dark without straining your eyes or distracting them from the bright display. So, here’s how to activate and use Night Mode.

What is Night Mode on Apple Watch Ultra?

Night mode effectively applies a red blue light blocking filter to the watch display. Thus, it reduces eye fatigue and prevents damage to the retina. The display on other Apple watches may not be suitable for night vision.

So, Night Mode on the Apple Watch Ultra is going to be crucial if you’re into nighttime adventures. You may have searched all your new watches but can’t find this feature. But don’t worry; we have you covered. Here’s how you can use Night Mode on your Apple Watch Ultra.

Turn on Night Mode on your Apple Watch Ultra.

Apple Watch Ultra Night Mode is currently only available on the Wayfinder watch face. So, if you are using any other watch face, you should switch to Wayfinder. Here’s how to do it:

1. To turn on the Wayfinder watch face, press and hold the display. It will then provide you with a list of available watch faces.
2. Now you have to swipe across the faces and select Wayfinder from there.
3. Now turn the Digital Crown until the clock display turns red.

And it’s all! The night mode has been successfully activated, which greatly simplifies reading in low light conditions. You can customize the watch face for Wayfinder and choose the version that suits your preferences. So, just swipe to the right one depending on your actions.

But there is a downside! Night mode only works on the home screen. Using any other function or clicking on other clock extensions will disable night mode.

If you’re wondering how to turn off Night Mode, you just need to turn the Digital Crown in the opposite direction on the Wayfinder watch face.

Apple Watch Ultra has more to offer…
