I sent the following to Samsung Support using the feedback tool. OS update version references below. 

Anyone else here in this forum experiencing the issue? It happened immediately after the OS update, but hopefully, can be fixed at the app level with Samsung Health!๐Ÿ™

----
After the latest Watch Ultra OS update, the Samsung Health workout tracking screen is noticeably dimmer than all other screens. This only happens during an active exercise. Home screen, tiles, toggles, and all other Samsung Health pages display at normal brightness.

Autoโ€‘brightness ON/OFF, manual brightness, AOD, and power saving do not affect the issue. Brightness returns to normal immediately after exiting the workout screen.

This is being reported across Samsung Members, Reddit, and XDA and began immediately after the OS update, not after any Samsung Health update. The issue appears isolated to the workout display mode and is likely a Samsung Health rendering bug, not hardware.

Please escalate to the Samsung Health team for an appโ€‘level fix.

The dimmer workout screen is even more profound in the sunlight. The screen will brighten with Adaptive brightness on, but can still hardly see it.

I have the same issue -- VERY annoying as it makes these views almost useless while running or biking.  This needs a resolution ASAP.

Exactly! Hoping this is a Samsung Health app misalignment with the updated OS patch, otherwise we will be waiting a long time.
I got the standard response about the issue being sent to the developer team. That was via the feedback tool with Samsung Members.

I am sure this has to be widespread across watch Ultra customers.

Updated report sent via the feedback tool. If you are having the same issue, I encourage you to report it as well.

Same for me using watch 5 with A56. Very hard to see when in motion. Please fix ASAP.
