Heartline Study Apple Watch


Several times during the day's wearing of my Apple watch, especially during my morning workouts or during the days where I may be very physically active, the brightness of the watch face will change from being bright and readable to being so dark that one can faintly make out the readings. I have set the brightness scale at the top end but this still happens. Then, for no certain pattern or events, the brightness may appear normally on the face readouts. I have spoken with other wearers of the Apple watch and they have not experienced this happening. I would appreciate your response of this annoying and disturbing event.

It may be a hardware problem, but the first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
