The flashlight is great, and I have it mapped to my Action Button on my Watch 8: Classic. Would love an additional mode for a red light to reduce eye strain at night, even better if I could toggle the brightness of the red with the bezel too.

A red tinted flashlight on a watch is not going to shed very much light on anything. You can tap the screen to lower the brightness (which doesn't lower it very much). You can also put a red color filter on your screen in the settings, I checked, and this will tint the flashlight red (if it's at 60% opacity). Go to the watch settings/accessibility. Select vision enhancements. Then select "color filter" and turn it on Choose your color (red) and then choose the opacity - make it 60% (as high as it goes). This will tint your flashlight red.

 

Unfortunately, there is no way to add a quick panel button for it the way there is on the phone, so you will either have to set it this way each night, or keep your watch face red tinted (the filter affects the whole watch screen) all the time. Do you frequently use the flashlight?

 

You can send feedback to the developers requesting a quick panel button for the watch to facilitate this. https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Tips-Tricks/How-to-Send-Feedback/ba-p/3001692

I think they were referring to adding the color filter to the quick panel.
