The Apple Watch Series 9 brightness and Apple Watch Ultra 2 brightness upgrades were one of the best things about them that was revealed at the Apple Wonderlust Event aka Apple September Event.
Apple Watch Series 9 brightness
The Apple Watch Series 8 was already capable of an impressive 1000 nits of peak brightness, but the Apple Watch series 9 peak brightness is capable of going all the way up to 2000 nits!
Fear not though, moving the other way is equally impressive – you’re able to drop the brightness all the way down to 1nits of brightness for when you’re in low-light environments – perfect for late-night antics/caving/sneaking through a cinema/whatever you like.
Apple Watch Ultra 2 brightness
As if this wasn’t insane enough, Apple decided to scorch our eyeballs even more with the Apple Watch Ultra 2 peak brightness, which reaches up to 3000 nits! That’s frankly ridiculously high, and we’d struggle to think of a scenario where your environment would be so bright you wouldn’t be able to see the display when set to that level.
We didn’t catch what the lowest light settings are (hopefully also 1nits), but at least you can rest easy knowing you should always be able to see the time.
