Apple unveiled the new widget system for watchOS 10 and detailed several changes to the Apple Watch user interface. Among these changes, Apple Watch Ultra users will be particularly pleased with the exclusive hardware watch face called Wayfinder. An enhanced Night Mode also adds convenience and improved visibility in low-light conditions.
Wayfinder Watch Face on Apple Watch Ultra
The Apple Watch Ultra features a unique watch face called Wayfinder, which incorporates a watch bezel capable of displaying location coordinates and altitude data. Equipped with new dual-frequency GPS technology, the Wayfinder watch face provides users with essential information at a glance. Notably, it offers the option to switch to a black and red color mode for improved visibility.
Enhanced Night Mode
The Apple Watch Ultra’s Wayfinder face also introduces an innovative Night Mode. Users can activate Night Mode by rotating the digital crown, enhancing visibility in low-light environments. This feature proves especially useful for those engaging in nighttime activities or requiring clear visibility in darker conditions.

Auto Night Mode for Enhanced Convenience
Adding to the convenience of the Apple Watch Ultra, watchOS 10 introduces Auto Night Mode. With this feature, the watch automatically detects low light levels using its ambient light sensor and adjusts the display accordingly. Users no longer need to manually switch modes, as the Apple Watch Ultra adapts seamlessly to changing lighting conditions.
Improving Night Mode Functionality
While Night Mode on previous Apple Watch models only altered the color of the watch face, Apple has made efforts to enhance its functionality. Although Night Mode may still require a brief adjustment period for optimal clarity, the inclusion of Night Mode in the Wayfinder watch face demonstrates Apple’s commitment to improving its performance and addressing user feedback.
Apple’s attention to detail in providing an exclusive watch face and enhancing Night Mode showcases their dedication to delivering an exceptional user experience for Apple Watch Ultra users running watchOS 10.
