Auto brightness adjustment app for Android smartwatch

Display Brightness is the latest Android Wear app designed to give smartwatches auto brightness adjustment capabilities. This would be especially boon to the Galaxy Gear and LG G Watch users, since both wearables lack a light sensor. Users have to manually adjust screen brightness depending on conditions.


The Display Brightness for Wear uses the time and user’s network location to determine how bright the watch should be. It also utilizes current activity of mobile as detected by the Google Play Services activity detection API. If it is nighttime, the display stays at the faintest setting. During daytime, the app will try to estimate whether you are indoors or out and set the brightness to either medium or high setting, respectively. For example – if the activity detection API assumes that you are driving, the watch’s brightness will auto-adjust to high.
There are still a number of things the app lacks. For example, once the app is installed – it is always on, which means that manual brightness adjustments are no longer an option. Also the auto-balancing is not real-time in order to preserve the battery. The Moto 360 is expected to have have an ambient light sensor, but Display Brightness for Wear lets you counterfeit the same functionality on the G Watch and Gear Live.
