To turn on Night Mode on your Apple Watch, specifically with the Wayfinder Modular Ultra watch face, you'll need to customize the watch face settings directly on your device. This feature transforms the watch face with a red hue, which is often preferred for preserving night vision.

Activating Night Mode involves a few simple steps within the watch face customization options:

Understanding Night Mode
Night Mode, particularly on watch faces like the Wayfinder Modular Ultra, is designed to reduce strain on your eyes in low-light conditions. The red display is less disruptive to your natural night vision compared to traditional white or bright colors, making it ideal for activities such as stargazing, camping, or simply checking the time in a dark room without fully waking yourself up.
While Night Mode is a specific feature tied to certain watch faces, Apple Watch also offers other display adjustments for low-light environments:
- Always On Display (for supported models): You can adjust the brightness of the Always On display in Settings > Display & Brightness > Always On.
- Theater Mode: This mode mutes notifications and keeps the screen dark until you tap or press a button, preventing accidental screen activation in dark settings like movie theaters. You can enable it via Control Center on your Apple Watch (swipe up from the bottom of the screen).
By following these steps, you can easily enable Night Mode on your Apple Watch Ultra with the Wayfinder Modular watch face, enhancing your experience in dark environments.
