Description

Notice: if the brightness does not change on your watch, restart the watch. Also, make sure to check the brightness by using the system settings and not a 3rd party app (like Wear Mini Launcher's settings), some 3rd party apps don't properly read the current brightness and update themselves when it changes.

Uses the coarse location to calculate sunrise and sunset times, as well as the Google Play Services activity detection API to automatically set the display brightness on your Android Wear.

This is only necessary for watches that DON'T have an ambient light sensor. This is not needed for the Moto 360, but can be used with it if the watch brightness setting is on manual mode. If the watch is on auto, this app will not change the value (useful if you have multiple Android Wear devices.)

If it's night time, the brightness will always be set to the lowest.

If it's day time, it will determine the brightness, between medium and high, based on the current user activity. Feel free to change the brightness levels depending on your activities.

By using the activity detection, we are making assumptions to determine whether the user is indoors, or outdoors, and then setting the display brightness on the watch based on that.

For battery saving purposes, there may be a delay between each detection.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

3 ★I'm glad someone did this, I've been wishing for a time-based automatic brightness adjustment for my G Watch since day one. However, I think there can be improvements made to it. As it is now, there is absolutely no indication that the app is active or doing anything and there are no settings or variables for users to configure. I think that there should be settings (either on watch of phone) where people can manually specify what brightness they want at what hours, as well as an option to enable/disable
4 ★Now just needs some customisation options. For example a global on/off setting (for when user wants manual control again), and custom brightness levels per "state" (since each person has different preferences). Lots of potential here though.
5 ★Recommend more ways to configure brightness. Time of day for example you know you are at work 8AM - 4Pm, and you know what brightness would be ideal at work. Mon-Fri 8am - 4pm brightness = 3 Excellent though, and it is so far free, can not complain
2 ★Whenever I check brightness seems to be at 4. Even at midnight.
4 ★But need some custom fine tuning - for example at home at day time 3 is to light for me and I would like to be able to change it to 2.
3 ★Wasn't sure this was working after checking my brightness throughout the day.
2 ★I ran this for a few days, but doesn't seem to do anything. Granted, I use Lux to control brightness, not sure if that's an issue.
2 ★I'm not convinced this is actually doing anything... Brightness always at the same level, day or night, driving, not driving.....
2 ★I don't want to give thus 1 star as it's free but it makes the watch battery last about 7 hours instead of the usual 20 I get
5 ★One of the most clever ideas...
5 ★Great idea
5 ★Awesome idea
