Control screen brightness and timeout on your Galaxy Watch
Your Galaxy Watch lets you control how bright the screen appears and how long it stays on before turning off. Adjusting these basic settings can help make the screen easier to see, reduce distractions, and limit unnecessary screen use. You can change screen brightness and screen timeout directly from your watch or through the Galaxy Wearable app on your connected phone.

You can adjust the screen brightness directly on your Galaxy Watch to make the display easier to see in different lighting conditions. Lowering the brightness can also help reduce unnecessary screen use.

- You can also adjust brightness from the Quick Settings panel. From the watch Home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick Settings panel. Tap the Brightness icon, then adjust the brightness using the on-screen control.
