Using Red Shift Mode on the Venu 3 and Venu 3S Watch

Red Shift changes the  display on the watch to shades of red to help preserve your night vision by blocking the colors of light that constrict pupils, and it can also reduce sleep cycle disturbances. You can use every feature of the watch while in Red Shift mode, including activities and the map, but it can reduce visible contrast on some screens. ​Red Shift can be enabled from the controls menu on the watch, or the display settings.

To enable Red Shift, access the controls menu by holding the Light button. Select the eclipse icon Gray sun icon being eclipsed by a faded moon to turn on Red Shift.
