Driving @ Night S3 Watch Face

[Ca_lvn]

So I have noticed a annoying issue lately, AOD on my watch is off and I have it set to display the watch or notifications by turing your wrist (wake up gesture) towards you and it works great, easy way to check your watch.
However I have noticed while driving at night that when I turn the stearing wheel the watch face lights up very annoying, a bright light that pops up quite often even noticed this sitting outside at night wondering why my watch face is on.
So I guessing that I don't notice this action during the day or more likely there is a sensor that is making this more noticeable at night.

Anyone else annoyed with this? Really don't want to turn off wake up gesture I think it's called!

No. Mine does the same thing. No big deal.

You are mimicking the wake action. So the watch is reacting as it should. I happens during the day too.

You're annoyed that the watch is working like it should ? Honestly, turn the brightness down on the display so it's not blinding you at night. It'll be bright enough during the day and it automatically increases your brightness in direct sunlight. Mine is usually set to 5 or 6.

Happens to me as well but I've gotten used to it at this point.

It's normal!
As ClintRo said; the watch is reacting the way it should.

What I've done if I know I'll be driving for a bit is to pick a darker watch face than the bright standard one I usually use (one of the few that shows the calendar and steps;-) Then switch it back later. It also can bug me on a nighttime walk. So you're not alone - I don't think he was saying it was not acting properly but what to do about it. This might be a way to have it less of a distraction.
