made my own night mode

It seemed a shame that the night mode on the latest WatchOS was so good yet we’re stuck with the same display in sleep mode. So I made my own focus mode, used Shortcuts automations to make it activate with the sleep schedule and made a custom watch face in night mode.

Only downside is on the iPhone there’s no easy link on the lock screen to change the alarm time but I can live with that. So much nicer than the default screen.
