Hello all, can anyone running 11.4 confirm if the Siri auto brightness trick still works? I've been using it as the Circulaire face is unusably dim when my wrist is down.

1. Have a bright light nearby
2. Bring the watch up to it so the screen brightness goes up
3. Ask Siri to turn auto brightness off ('Voice input processed on this Apple Watch' must be enabled/downloaded in Settings > Siri, otherwise it'll say that it can't help with this)
4. On wrist down, the screen will stay bright.

It's working for me on 11.3 but want to double check before updating. =)
This still works for me with the 11.4 update. I don't use it all the time, just on occasions that I want the always on display to be noticeable. Plus, I don't want to take a chance of harming the display by leaving it all full brightness all the time. The setting also resets itself, at least for me, every time I charge my watch overnight, so I have to repeat the process if I want to enable it again for the day.

Yeah same here - as I said in my other post, I usually just use it along with the Circulaire face. It resets anytime I charge it also. Thanks for answering my question @FTyler! Cheers

These nylon bands really need to be worn to be appreciated. The online product images don’t do them justice. This Toile is so light and now I understand what all the fuss is about for the black hardware on the SB watch.
